Hi, I looked all over the internet, but could not find the solution for my problem:
Mandrake Linux 10.1
+sendmail + perl 5.8.5
Recently I installed NeoMail 1.2... (the last one)
I installed it as it was documented. It runs, BUT I CAN NOT LOG IN.
No user can login regardless of group. Sendmail works ok, apache works ok.
I get this message in /var/neomail/neomail.log:
Mon Aug 22 11:32:12 2005 - [10020] (86.xxx.xx.xxx) UNKNOWNUSER - invalid login attempt for username=xxxxxxx
Also there is some strange log in /var/log/httpd/error.log:
[Mon Aug 22 11:32:12 2005] [error] [client 86.125.59.172] YOU HAVEN'T DISABLED SET-ID SCRIPTS IN THE KERNEL YET!, referer: >>> HERE WAS AN URL TO MY NEOMAIL.PL FILE<<<

drwxrwxrwx 2 root mail 4096 Aug 22 10:49 users/
Also tried /var/neomail/checklogin.pl as root with /etc/shadow and a real username and password, and it returned me "0" = authentication succesfull.
Please help me figure out why neomail fails to log in any user.
Thanks.
Neomail!! Wow that was a long time ago. Last time I touched that was back in 2003. I'd suggest something php based like horde (http://www.horde.org/).
Lucky for you I'm a pack rat. I wrote C wrappers for neomail.pl and neomail-perfs.pl as the error message suggests. I called them neomail.cgi and neiomail-perfs.cgi respectively.
