The watchdog log is rather sparse on useful errors.
I just went to /user/3/contact to try to send an email. I was redirected to a /user/3/contact page not found. The only new entry in the watchdog log is a warning: "warning page not found 02/26/2008 - 1:26pm 500.shtml Brian"
The details: "Details Type page not found Date Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - 1:26pm User Brian Location http://www.sitename.org/user/3/contact Referrer http://www.sitename.org/user/3/contact Message 500.shtml Severity warning Hostname 63.225.99.xxx (my desktop's external IP)"

Hi,
I've experienced similar errors during a site development for a client. It turned out that the cause of the errors was modSecurity for Apache, which for some reason, blocked some urls, causing the page not found error. Could something similar be in your situation?
Well, it seems that the site completely lost its ability to send any email, as new users no longer received their password emails (but no error appears in the log). However, the CiviCRM module (which uses its own email handling) still functions just fine. So the error appears to be deeper than the "page not found" surface.
That said, it appears our host upgraded to PHP 5.2 this weekend (I was not made aware of this until I went to post a ticket). However, the server setup allows me to use an htaccess AddHandler to push the version back to 5.1, and that seems to have resolved the problem! Your question about modSecurity got me going down the path toward figuring this out, so thanks!
Brian
