Title: Re: [cobalt-users] cgi-wrapper issues on RaQ2

Try to disable cgi-wrap by placing this .htaccess file in your web directory (instead of the other method):

AuthPAM_Enabled off
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/  /home/sites/domain.com/cgi-bin/

Everything is going well except for one feature of the software.  The email "module" is not able to send out mail messages.  The program lets you pick 3 ways of sending out mail - sendmail, mail, SMTP.  I had the thing configured to use sendmail and this worked for a while - until I changed my mail server from sendmail to CommuniGate Pro (actually a pretty nice server).  Now, when I perform the email configuration and run the test I get a message generated in the log reading:

Now, I do not know much about perl scripts but everything seems to be in order.  I get this same error no matter what method of connectivity I try.  It does not seem to be related to the new mail server since it does not appear to even get that far in the mail submission process.  It does seem strange though that the sendmail submission method worked before changing the server software.
