Basically, you just build following the instructions in the INSTALL file, which is in summary: $ ./configure $ make configure-check $ make $ make check $ su # make install-strip # make install-configure Then start the authentication daemon: # /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start and add the following cronjob: 0 * * * * bin /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/cleancache.pl and away you go. By default authentication is done using 'pam' against your system password file. You may need to add some pam config lines, this is also described in the INSTALL file. > Afterwards i will shift to vpopmail. Beware that vpopmail has a serious bug which stops it working with authdaemond. If you want to use vpopmail with courier, you need to add '--without-authdaemon' to your configure command line.
