[Asterisk-Users] vmail.cgi cannot read/delete messages

[Steven Critchfield]

This will give you definitive information.
umask sets a mask on your default permissions flags. It works like your
netmask on TCPIP. A umask=000 will default your permissions to 777. I
think you may be used to a umask=022 which gives you a default
permisions of 755.
