Well I sorted out the permissions on that directory structure, and the web
based cgi performed as the command line one did, I havent had too long to
find out if any weird things are going to start happening with the mail
apps, but I'm hopeful that this was the solution...
Thanks for all the help
Okies, FINALLY I think I have the reason (though not the solution as yet)
Marco, you were spot on, which I hadn't pursued properly, only looking at
the immediate parent directory permissions. In fact the whole ~vpopmail
structure down to the individual users directory has a VERY restrictive set
Just a quick addition, both the submit/link were very basic, they both
worked like this
$location = /cgi-bin/getmailtest.cgi;
// $location = getmail.php;
echo $locationbr;
print(a href=$locationClick here to test the cgi/abr\n);
print(form name=form1 method=post action=$location);
print(press

yep, same result (although I had to change the apache user for a few minutes

Ok, that's a big step forward then. It's possible that your user does
not have access to the directory tree where the file resides? Have you
tried listing that directory and or opening the file (for example with
cat) while using that file? If you can narrow it down to a permission
problem (and,
