Check the list archives. I don't know of a writeup anywhere else.

If you're running CentOS5, you can yum install version 1.0.10 from the qtp repository. I hope to get that updated at some point, but it'll won't be in the immediate future. Be sure to review the configuration file after installing it, as I'm not certain what the state of that is.

You'll also need to adjust your squirrelmail configuration. Here's what I'm using in /etc/squirrelmail/config_local.php:
<?php
####################
# Local configuration for Qmail Toaster
# configure to suit your requirements

# these are in toaster config,
#     changed/removed for stock dovecot (w/out courier compat config)
# $imap_server_type = 'courier';
# $optional_delimiter = '.';
# $default_folder_prefix = 'INBOX.';
# $delete_folder = true;
# $show_contain_subfolders_option = false;

# these should be added to the toaster config (imho)
$org_name     = "QmailToaster";
# $org_logo        = SM_PATH . 'images/sm_logo.png';
# $org_logo_width  = '308';
# $org_logo_height = '111';
# $org_title       = "SquirrelMail $version";
$provider_uri       = 'http://www.qmailtoaster.org/';
$provider_name      = 'QmailToaster';
$smtpServerAddress  = 'localhost';
$smtpPort           = 587;
$smtp_auth_mech     = 'login';

$useSendmail = false;
$imap_server_type = 'dovecot';
$optional_delimiter = 'detect';
$default_folder_prefix = '';
$show_prefix_option = false;
$force_username_lowercase = true;
$hide_sm_attributions = true;
$plugins[] = 'calendar';
$plugins[] = 'notes';
$plugins[] = 'filters';
$plugins[] = 'quota_usage';
$plugins[] = 'unsafe_image_rules';
$plugins[] = 'qmailadmin_login';
?>

Note, you'll need to adjust this slightly if you use courier compatibility mode. Personally, I think courier compatibility is goofy from a user perspective (all user folders must be sub-folders of INBOX).

Also, when you use authentication in SM, you can remove the 127.: line in your /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp file.
