I've seen this problem before.. It has to do with the fact that you
can't specify multiple arguments after the "#!" in omail.pl or
omail-prefs.pl

Joel Newkirk figured out a way around this problem by creating a wrapper
script that invokes omail.pl. He created one for omail-prefs.pl too.

<quote from Joel Newkirk's email Nov 27, 2003>

[root@hild omail]# cat omail.cgi

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/sudo -u vpopmail /var/www/html/omail/omail.pl

[root@hild omail]#

And a similar 'bootstrap' omail-prefs.cgi.  Then change scripturl and
prefsurl in omail.conf to list the .cgis.
