Hi Chris,
Please can you just clarify if this is about the CRINmail being sent out blank, rather than the CRINmails bouncing back. If the former, yes please, the latter is not important.
Thanks,
Jenny

Replying to jenny:

Neither, this is an issue on Crin1, so it effects Piwik, ownCloud and MediaWiki.

hours changed from 0 to 0.14
status changed from new to closed
resolution set to fixed
totalhours changed from 0.16 to 0.3

This has been fixed, the following was added to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/mpm_prefork.conf:

LimitUIDRange 0 2000

And Apache was restarted.
