Can you run the openwebmail.pl script in the directory?

Look, curiosity took hold and I decided to install everything in a new VM, :-)

FreeBSD freebsd 12.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC amd64

(and that may be a problem, the version of bsd though I doubt it.)

Anyway, installed perl, apache and openwebmail. After a bit of torture with apache (I'm a lighttpd/nginx person I should've installed that - I just assumed you're running that, sorry) I got things working.

So, it's not the packages, it's a file. Perhaps check in /usr/local/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail if all the .files in there for the perl scripts have the correct permissions (these don't need the 's' sticky bit though, that's the domain of the C wrapper called openwebmail.pl). In my config they're all 755.

Regards,

Mark.
