Good to hear! >>qmail is installed and works fine. I tried to implement vpopmail and >>sqwebmail, but I was not able to get it to work.

What kind of problem do you have? I installed vpopmail binary package from unstable (it is not included in woody). <<< dpkg --list "*vpopmail*" Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un libvpopmail-ba <none> (no description available) ii libvpopmail-de 4.9.9-1 vpopmail development files ii libvpopmail-fr 4.9.9-1 vpopmail mysql plugin un libvpopmail0 <none> (no description available) ii libvpopmail1 4.9.9-1 vpopmail libraries un vpopmail <none> (no description available) ii vpopmail-bin 4.9.9-1 vpopmail binaries ii vpopmail-doc 4.9.9-1 vpopmail documentation >>> Afterwards I tried to build sqwebmail from the debian source package. I changed the rules file: --with-authvchkpw --without-authdaemon This leads to the following error during build: <<< echo '#include "/var/lib/vpopmail/include/config.h"' >vpopmail_config.h gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I/var/lib/vpopmail/include -lcrypt -Wall -I.. -I./.. -c authvchkpw.c authvchkpw.c: In function `auth_vchkpw_changepass': authvchkpw.c:142: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type authvchkpw.c:151: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type authvchkpw.c:151: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type make[2]: *** [authvchkpw.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/courier-0.37.3/authlib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/courier-0.37.3' make: *** [build] Error 2 >>> I found numerous occurences of this error message on Google and groups.google.com - unfortunately all without replies. :-( What does your working rules file look like?
