    Well, this forum (and ISPConfig in general) made my life loads easier, so I figured it was time to give back to the community. Well, actually, I wanted to get SquirrelMail installed, and it was pretty easy to make a package.

    http://nerdlife.net/ispconfig/squirrelmail.pkg

    Tested on the latest release of ISPConfig under Debian Sarge. It doesn't conflict with other webmail packages, so feel free to install it for the sake of poking around.

    How's it work for you guys?

    Thanks for the package :)

    May I make the package available for download on the ISPConfig website?

    Ubuntu 5.10

    Hi

    Would this work on a Perfect Install - Ubuntu 5.10 as is? Or would I have to make any adjustments to the .pak file?

    Been waiting for this. Thank you very much for making this available.

    Regards
    Brenton

    The .pkg files are working for all linux distributions and can be installed with the ISPConfig update function.

    Thanks for your reply till, I've installed the .pkg file and it works great.

    One more question, if I want http://mail.domain.com to point to the Squirrelmail how would I go about it?

    I apologise for these basic questions, but I'm doing this on a production server and am having to be very careful.

    Regards

    You can do it with a PHP header redirect:

    PHP:
    <?php
    header
    ("Location: https://www.example.com:81/squirrelmail"); /* Redirect browser */

    /* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
    exit;
    ?> 
    Replace squirrelmail with the real directory.

    You can also just setup a forward in the co-domains option to redirect mail.something.com to that site.

    What I've been wondering is if there's a way to do this for all mail.*, so that all clients can go to mail.theirdomain.com and be redirected without having to manually set it.

    you can create a virtualhost in Apache (not in ISPConfig) with this content:

    <VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>
    ServerName mail.*:80
    ServerAdmin [email protected]

    DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail..+..+$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mail.domain.com$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://webmail.domain.com$1 [R=301]

    </VirtualHost>

    It will redicrect all incoming querys from http://mail.* to https://webmail.domain.com (of course, "webmail" hosname in domain.com domain should exist, and "mail" host in all domains too, you can create them in DNS Manager)

    No, only once for every IP you use for webhosting on your server.

    no, only once as a new apache virtualhost:

    STEP 1.: create a new web in ISPconfig, with name mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM. Install Squirrelmail into this web. Make sure it is working, accessible from outside and you can log in. Create SSL certificate for this website if you would like to log in to webmail through HTTPS.

    STEP 2. create a new virtualhost in apache (eg.: /etc/apache2/sites-available/webmail.conf) with this content:

    Code:
    <VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80>
    ServerName mail.*:80
    ServerAdmin [email][email protected][/email]
    
    DocumentRoot /var/www/sharedip
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^webmail..+..+$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM$1 [R=301]
    
    </VirtualHost>
    Note: replace IP address with your IP address and YOURDOMAIN.COM with your domain name. If you dont want to server webmail over HTTPS replace
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM$1 [R=301] with
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mail.YOURDOMAIN.COM$1 [R=301]

    STEP 3. link it to sites-enabled:
    Code:
    ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/webmail.conf /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/webmail.conf
    STEP 4. go back to ISPconfig - DNS Manager and create "webmail" host for every domain which should access your webmail site through webmail.OTHERDOMAIN.COM

    Great package, but still have a small question on allowing other domains to use. In the directions outlined below, Step 1 states the following:

    Install Squirrelmail into this web. Make sure it is working, accessible from outside and you can log in.

    What do you mean install Squirrelmail into this web. If you install the pkg through ISPConfig, it is installed just once. How do you install it per domain? Thanks.

    Todvard did not use the .pkg file available for ISPConfig. He created a website in ISPConfig and installed the tar.gz version of Squirrelmail available on the squirrelmail project page.

    squirrelmail package on ispconfig website

    I guess Till is a very busy man ;)
    He still did not put the squirrelmail package on http://www.ispconfig.org/downloads.htm

    To put it there would be nice or ...
