Hi,

With the default cpanel rule set of mod_security installed simple news generates 406 errors (which show as 404 errors since there is no error document for 406 errors), this is because it doesn't like post requests with "mail" in the url. Changing mail to "email" fixes the problem.

On line 268 of the simplenews.module file change it to

$items['admin/settings/simplenews/email']

And the problem is solved (this may help some of the other 404 issues raised by other users I'm not sure)

Regards

Rowan

mod_security is fully configurable, you can determine which URI's it will block.
See www.modsecurity.org for documentation.

Yes I know it is fully configurable but not everyone will have access to the mod security settings so it's easier just to edit this one line.
