Instead it uses IMAP to do that. This is the case no matter if the mail server is local or remote. We use it here supporting 1300 users no problem. The benefits of this is you may install Squirrelmail on another server to keep the load down. Although we have had no problem with our load. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Re: web mail interface program.
Hi Gary, I´m using Openwebmail (www.openwebmail.org or ports/mail/openwebmail) for more then 2 years to serve +5000 users with no worry. It runs in perl, suport POP3 (local/remote), includes calendar, webdisk, ssh term, etc. everything configured at user basis. - Marcelo Souza On Mon, 27 Jun 2005, Gary Kline wrote: | | People, | | As an experiment I build squirrelmail on my laptop which is | on my internal net.

Its very easy to configure, once its installed. There are really only two main files you need to change which are, conf.inc and login.inc both of these are well commented so should be pretty easy to change. Anyways have fun :) Bye.

The mail.local program, or /bin/mail or other variation, that is called by Sendmail is what talks to the mailboxes on the system. The mail.local program supplied with sendmail is an old leftover from BSD days where Sendmail was originally developed. It is a very simple program and is only included as a matter of convenience. >I know you >can use Sendmail -> Procmail -> Maildir though. > Yes, that is the way that you do it. Procmail is a better delivery agent than mail.local by a long shot.

It took a few attempts to make dspam work properly, but I'm very pleased with the setup. In regards to you questions, you will have to install an imap server to use squirrelmail. I prefer courier-imap because it's pretty easy to setup and the courier-authlib port lets me setup md5, ssl, etc. connections. The only catch with courier-imap is that it will not read mail from mbox mailboxes (/var/spool/mail). You have to be using Maildir mailboxes, which I'm not sure sendmail will do natively. I know you can use Sendmail -> Procmail -> Maildir though. Figure out which approach works best for you, and I can probably help you with the implementation.

web mail interface program.
People, As an experiment I build squirrelmail on my laptop which is on my internal net. I chose sendmail; but the ./configure section also required that I use IMAP. Everything went well until I tried to login. No joy. I admit that I'm pretty clueless re POP3 or IMAP. Can anybody help me? If I install squirrelmail on my primary server would I be rid of IMAP? Or is there a better mail program with a web interface. thanks for a flashlight:-) gary PS: I have evolution working on another internal server; if only it had vi for replies, Life would be perfect -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
