Sqwebmail's CGI executable has to be run as setuid root, which is against good
security behavior. It'd be better if it used a daemon to read/write the Maildirs
and, say, named pipes to do the communication. Of course, then it could use
sockets just as easily and read Maildirs from different machines. Maybe I'm just
reinventing POP. Or not?
