                OS: Any

Attempting to login to openwebmail returns error message:

Set effective gid to mail(6) failed!

I have three machines, all have this behaviour since about 3 months ago.
In all cases, machines are running 11.3-RELEASE

Machine 'a' is running 11.3 32 bit (on 64 bit hardware).  Publicly accessible
as mail.casano.com.  11.3-RELEASE-p3 kernel, p4 userland

Machine 'b' is running 11.3 64 bit.  11.3-RELEASE-p3 kernel, p4 userland

Machine 'c' is a VM I built 20 minutes ago.  It runs 11.3 64 bit on an
Ubuntu Linux host.  That machine has only the minimum installed on it
to test openwebmail:

apache24
openwebmail
p5-CGI
p5-HTML-Parser
p5-HTML-Tagset
P5-Text-Iconv
perl5-5.30.0
and whatever else was dragged in by installing that stuff.

That machine has not been updated using freebsd-update.  It is running
the vm image as distributed from freebsd.org.

To replicate the bug:

fresh 11.3-RELEASE install
pkg install apache24
pkg install openwebmail

configure apache24 so cgi works; change default cgi-bin directory to
/usr/local/www/cgi-bin (from default /usr/local/www/apache24/cgi-bin)

user adduser to create one or more user accounts.

open web browser to the openwebmail login page
attempt to login one of the user accounts.
