I do not have access to the box right now, it's at home and having recently
upgraded to the 2.4 kernel among other packages I broke pam. So I cannot
tell you exactly the changes.
I know I basically just NFS mounted /home and then install sqwebmail
strictly on the webserver box. I had to install qmail to the webserver box,
but just to route mail to the mailserver, I do not have services running on
it to accept or check mail. You might be able to edit sendit.sh on
sqwebmail to route this differently since it communicates directly with the
qmail-inject, if you don't want to install qmail on the webserver.
Both OS's were Linux 2.2.17, actually the qmail server is 2.4.1 kernel now,
and qmail still works though I cannot connect with ssh anymore =)
I know that synching the time was a HUGE issue to make sure messages showed
up from reading the list, but I don't remember ever having problems with it.

Did you have to do anything special with NFS flags when mounting?
Which OSes are you using? I have tried setting up sqwebmail to read
and write to a NFS mounted /home and it didn't perform correctly.
Clicking send would not work, files seemed to not be written properly
to disk, etc... Someone suggested that it might a difference in time
on the servers, however, both the client and the server are using xntpd
to synchronize the clocks to our central time server.
