MJ, Again, thanks for your time on this. My comments are interspersed below: On Mon, Aug 26, 2019 at 1:53 AM MJ <mafsys1234@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Bill, > > On 26/08/2019 12:30 am, William Dudley wrote: > > Mark, > > > > Thanks for your suggestions. > > > > I left my debugging attempts out of my email to the list. > > > > I checked the permissions, and they are as they should be: 4755 for > > openwebmail.pl, owned by root:mail. > > Can you run the openwebmail.pl script in the directory? > If you mean run it from the command line, yes, I can, it poops out the login screen.

At least, it suggests that, when I upgrade to 12.x, openwebmail may once again work. My pkg versions are: perl5-5.30.0 openwebmail-2.53_4 apache24-2.4.41 (though I very much doubt apache has anything to do with the error) > > Anyway, installed perl, apache and openwebmail.

For fun, I just uninstalled and re-installed openwebmail, to make sure all files are present. There was no change in the failure mode; still fails to change group.
