Hi all,

Me again, the annoying newbie.

A spam came through eFa today so I clicked on the link in the footer and was presented with the following page:
Error variable is empty at /var/www/cgi-bin/learn-msg.cgi line 51

I have checked learn-msg.cgi line 51 is the if below:

open(FILE, '/etc/sysconfig/EFA_trusted_networks') or die ("Trusted Networks Fil$
@trustednetworks = <FILE>;
close (FILE);

if ($id eq "" ){
die "Error variable is empty";
}

That's about as far as I can get as my CGI is slightly worse than my ADA (in other words really poor).

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks

PJ

What does the link look like? Do you have a sample message?

The footer looks like this:

This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by

E.F.A. Project, and is believed to be clean.

That id looks fine in that url. I'm a bit confused.

It's doing the same for every message I try and block from the footer.

To rule out that something is happening to the url in your mail client...

Try copying the url and pasting it into a browser tab. Any difference?

Same both ways. If you want to have a go with it feel free to use this link as I'm trying to block the sender anyway.

Thanks for your help

I see your problem, the url is getting redirected to port 5272, and the parameters are getting dropped.

If I prefix the port to the address before hitting, it works.

You need to modify the inline sig template to include the non-standard port after the hostname.

Ah, that makes sense. Will update that in a bit. Thanks again for all your help.

I think I'll frame that reply

If you really want to say "thanks", pay it forward to someone else who needs the help.
