Webmail for local system mail
Does anyone know of a webmail product that can provide access to local system accounts? Even if it's just a script that runs /usr/bin/mail on behalf of the user.

I'd like to be able to sync the mail with outlook express also. Like if I send a mail over webmail, that sent mail will also go into the sent box in outlook express, or conversly, perhaps store all the mail on the server and have outlook express just show the folders and contents stored on the server. But i'd have to somehow upload all of the mail currently in my outlook express. I'll also need some kind of spam functionality as I get a sizable amount of spam.

I've used Null Web Mail (http://nullwebmail.sourceforge.net/webmail/) for several years. It's a very basic webmail program written in C, and it's pretty simple to configure and install. It doesn't have all of the features that some more sophisticated web mail programs have, but what I like most about it is it just basically works well. We encourage our users to POP their mail anyway so we don't need the bells whistles of some of the more full featured web mail programs.

I use postfix and dovecot, and dovecot is in imap4 mode. This makes it possible for me to use seamonkey (or really, any browser that has a mail interface) to pick up my mail from any location. Does good enough filtering, although I am investigating adding some extra filtering via postfix. Setting up dovecot/postfix is easier than most mailers (it's a PITA, but the others are basically worse) and there are a lot of examples on the web for setting the combination of postfix/dovecot up. For security, I use ssl (openssl) and ssl has a really nice tool, openssl, that has among its different modes, sclient and sserver, which allow pretty good testing of your ssl setup, and you can find on the web instructions for setting up your keys (lts of examples all over).

webmail client login problem For Local users of My Realdomain
Hai , First of all let me thank all of you for your prompt response , I followed the steps now its connected to smtps , so the test successful . I think I am nearing the successful installation of my mail server with the help of members of this list: My mail server using the following software packages postfix, dovecot-imap,postfix-admin,Maia-MailGuard squirrel mail here in this box now I tested squirrel mail , for any [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the virtual users and Virtual domains ) that I created using posfix-admin , can login into squirrel mail and they can send and receive emails , but for local users of this server (say my fqdn is : www.mydomain.net ) I can not use the local user accounts to login into squirrel mail eg : user1 is a local user in this server machine I tried to login to squirrel mail by this login name : [EMAIL PROTECTED] password : user1password when ever I try to login into squirrel mail with local user accounts login failed .. So I confused here How can I use my local user accounts to use squirrel mail , so they can start send receive emails , through this webmail client : (ONE thing I tested that for any local users in this machine they can send mails receive mails to anywhere through shell command ) BUT SQUIRREL mail login failed for them. Is ther any way to add these local users my FQDN ( like I added virtualusers @ virtual domains by using postfix admin OR any other way ) so that [EMAIL PROTECTED] (anyuser = localusers mydomain.net = FQDN of my Server ) also can login into squirrelmail interface and start send and receive mails expecting your suggestions , it will help me to fix this issue soon Thanks in Advance kk _ Call friends with PC-to-PC calling -- FREE http://get.live.com/messenger/overview___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Have a look at the Makefile in the ports. While theoretically you can change the location where stuff is put using ports, it does not always work out that well (I admit I could have screwed up). Mainly, some ports rely on other ports. I installed a bunch of stuff (gnu build stuff) that some ports relied on in my own dir /usr/public as a prefix. The ports system should know about this (ie at later install time) but certain ports that rely on this stuff seem to have it hardwired that this stuff is in / usr/local and these ports fail. So may ports can easily be changed, some ports can't. I use ports for things like build tools, system tools, editors, compilers. and certain standard SW we use. I use configure/make etc for my MTA, apache, php, my imap and pop servers, and lots of my service level software that I find much easier to customize myself without jumping through ports. best Chad -- Juha ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net

Me Again,
The good news is that it's working. :) There must be some incompatibility
with 6.2-RELEASE as on a whim, I tried 5.5, and it worked first time. So you

I've got a working install of sendmail on the machine now, and postgreSQL and
apache are also reporting for duty.
Now we just need forums and webmail. The latter will be
http://www.phpbb.com/ but for webmail, we're having difficulty finding a free
solution. ismail won't install from the ports, and other than that, everything
I've found looks to be in the region of 250 $US. As I believe I've mentioned,
the organisation is a school, and that sort of money just isn't in the kitty.
So my options are to write it in perl myself... oh G-d, we want it to be
working before Passover 2010! Or we find an open source version.
So once again, I throw myself at your feet

Quota and webmail
Hello everyone, I'm on FreeBSD 4.8R Latest sendmail is the default MTA, and latest Openwebmail is the webmail client. Quota has been enabled in my kernel The problem is whenever I set the quota limit and configure openwebmail to read the unix quota limit, then it reads the limit of the account user which located in /home/user but ignores the /var/mail/user limit. yes there is away in openwebmail to makes it reads both /home/user and /var/mail/user but it will be seperated limits not as a total 1 box limit. Is there away, script or any solution PLEASE to make the kernel quota reads the /home/user and adds to it /var/mail/user and the result comes as 1 size limit? 1 box limit? a link in the user home directory to /var/mail/user will do it? How would we do this please. Marwan _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

I used SM for a LONG time and recently switched to Horde. I like it A LOT better. Sure it was more work to get going, but its not terrible. They just fixed the horde ports so that your config doesn't get renamed when you upgrade, so that's a good thing! Start with horde and imp only, get that working, then add the other horde modules as you need them. The thing with SM is that it doesn't get updated enough (for me anyways). Sure little security updates, but theres been no movement on 1.5 in forever.

Yes, it is doable with postfix and it's not too complicated. You'll basically need a database for the backend (mysql, postgresql) and a few config changes to postfix.

Webmail Selection Setup Configuration
I am looking at setting up a webmail solution on my server and I would like to ask a few questions: 1 - Where is a good starting point to read about configuring a webmail system. I have looked into SquirellMail and actually installed it but I had trouble with the IMAP server and security portions of it. I was not able to get it running very well because need more information on the various parts of the complete system. 2 - Any highly recommended solutions?

I was strictly correct and a lot of these gotchas have nothing to do with IMP, but that's not much help to someone who actually has to get a working installation of horde/IMP in real life. Surely the easiest way to deal with a horde installation on FreeBSD is to install the ports, so dependencies including the necessary PHP extensions are pulled in for you, php.ini is updated properly as the install goes along, paths in config files are correct, program names are appropriate and so on. then replace scripts and upgrade dependencies where there are security or feature reasons to do so? And that respect, installing IMP is no more difficult or problematic than any other moderately complicated web based application, which is the point I was trying to make. I just tried this and got a working horde without any problems. BTW, it all works fine with courier-imap as well as imap-uw.
