Well, I've tested RoundCube and I confirm it's very easy to install and
very nice looking web mail application...But...what about security? It's
not in the portage so there are no gentoo devs to take care of it. Since
I would not go the way of checking for exploits and patching it myself I
prefer SquirrelMail. If someday gentoo decides to include RoundCube in
the portage, only then I'll think of using it in a production system.

So, how do you, guys, secure non-portage applications?
