44 Chapter 4 WebMail
To configure basic WebMail options:
1 In the Terminal application, type the following command and press Return:
sudo /etc/squirrelmail/config/conf.pl
2 Follow the instructions displayed in the Terminal window to change SquirrelMail
settings as desired.
3 Change the domain name to your server’s real domain name, such as example.com.
The domain name is the first item on the SquirrelMail script’s Server Settings menu.
The script operates by reading original values from config.php and writing new values
back to config.php.
If you don’t enter the server’s actual domain name correctly, the interactive script
replaces the original value, getenv(SERVER_NAME), with the same value but enclosed
in single quotes. The quoted value no longer works as a function call to retrieve the
domain name, and as a result WebMail can’t send messages.
WebMail configuration changes do not require restarting web service unless users are
logged in to WebMail.
To further customize the appearance (for example, to provide a specific appearance for
each of your websites), you need to know how to write PHP scripts. In addition, you
need to become familiar with the SquirrelMail plug-in architecture and write your own
SquirrelMail plug-ins.
