any script on my Raq4 server that attempts to send an email out, is
returning an "internal server error" screen when viewed from a browser. and
the error log is sayign " malformed header from script".
error log shows an errors like these for each instance of a script that
tries to send out email:
malformed header from script. Bad header=orders@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:
/usr/cgiwrap/cgiwrap
that particular error listed is coming from a site using a plain html form,
and posting to a standard FormMail.pl (version 1.9 Matt's Script Archive)
script which worked fine in the past.
In the end of September / beginning of October, this raq had a problem where
the admin gui could not edit any of the sites (would say url not found). I
ran a couple scripts (as directed by a fellow list member) aliasrestore.cgi
and fixsite.pl and that restored the admin functionality nicely.
As far as I know the cgi scripts were working fine during and after that.
Then within the same time period, we applied the latest patches to this raq4
(includes cgiwrap update etc.)
It then soon after came to our attention that this error was occuring. Since
the error does state /usr/cgiwrap/cgiwrap it seems to indicate that this is
being caused by something with cgiwrap (either something is different now
than before, something is broken, or .. just something)
However, searching around on teh net I'm not seeing much to indicate that
anybody else has had this and found it to be cgiwrap at fault, the general
indication of cgiwrap problems caused by the update, were errors which
displayed in the browser notifying of a cgiwrap error. Not a "internal
server" generic error.
Is this a cgiwrap problem ? (but only scripts that try to email seem to hit
it)
Is it a script problem ? (but why would all of the scripts which were
previously working, now not work all at the same time)
Is this a sendmail problem ?
