After using sqwebmail for a few months, all of a sudden it has stopped working, giving errors like :
sqwebmail: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied
sqwebmail: maildircache: Cache create failure - cannot change to bin

Instead of randomly changing permissions on random files, and hoping that they works, why don't you just leave it alone, and restore the original permissions that were set by make install?
Good idea, but it's hard to remember what they were before you start to go wild changing them. :)
In the end, the answer was in the doco's. I chown'd all files in my cgi-bin directory to the apache owner, including the sqwebmail binary. When I changed it back to being a setuid root binary it worked fine.
Hopefully this list is archived somewhere, so this answer to my initial problem can help someone else in the future.
