406 when modifying mailing list

[gerhardlazu]

I am trying to modify a mailing list that I have created, and all I'm getting is a 406 - Not Acceptable error. This is due to mod security as follows:

[Sun Apr 06 19:15:19 2008] [error] [client 78.32.62.145] ModSecurity: Access denied with code 406 (phase 2).

Any ideas as how to fix this?

Cheers.

The mod_security rules would need to be modified. If you don't have access to the rules, you will need your hosting company to modify them.

That's cool ckh, the mod_security regex looked a bit scary to be honest, one of the NOCs sorted that out for me. Cheers .
