Michael,

So how do we get that update? I tried doing a "yum update
solarspeed-base-gui.rpm" and it cant find the package you mentioned below.
(I also may not be doing it right... Never had to do a manual yum update
before)

Please execute
'/home/solarspeed/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl
--init' on server first!

Just to let you know that this needs to be done after...

Yeah, I just did run into a box which had the same problem, so that I could
troubleshoot it.

So far the problem only exists on 5106R and it was indeed caused by the
CentOS-5.8 perl perl-suidperl updates. These changed a few behaviours of
Perl around, so things that OpenWebmail used fine in the past now started to
break. 
\o/

Part of the problem is the Perl file locking and the dbm.conf of
OpenWebmail. 
That one configures which file locking mechanism to use. File locking is
used to prevent that multiple processes try to write to the same file at the
same

time.

To fix the problem in OpenWebmail, both instances of dbm.conf must be
changed to this:

dbm_ext                 .pag
dbmopen_ext             none
dbmopen_haslock         yes

For the Solarspeed.net OpenWebmail that's in this two files:

/home/solarspeed/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/dbm.conf
/home/solarspeed/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/etc/defaults/dbm.conf

Afterwards this script should be run:

/home/solarspeed/openwebmail/cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-tool.pl
--alluser
--index

It rebuilds the indexes and fixes any OpenWebmail database issues.

I just published an updated "solarspeed-base-gui" RPM out to the YUM
repositories for 5106R, 5107R and 5108R that will apply these fixes
automatically.

With best regards
