I had setup mailnotify, and it was working. Now however, I get the following error:

[root@twiki twiki]# perl -I bin tools/mailnotify Sandbox Processing Sandbox

• jon.doe@nowherePLEASENOSPAM.com: * Last notification was at 2010-06-01T21:39:13Z Change to JonDoeSandbox at 2010-06-03T01:59:48Z. New revision is 9 Change to JonDoeSandbox at 2010-06-02T21:01:26Z. New revision is 8

Further info:

Seems to be due to LatexModePlugin:

[root@twiki twiki]# perl -d -I bin tools/mailnotify Sandbox

Why does mailnotify need to render the embedded latex in a Topic that has changed?

I do not understand why this plugin needs to update content when mailnotify runs. In any case, probably a simple solution is to run mailnotify as the user Apache is running.
