I couldn't get this to work.
I'm trying to do the exact thing... having a separate squirrelmail setup.
Besides wanting to have a little more control over plugins/features (without being overwritten by cpanel), I also needed webmail available on a standard port. Some people were having troubles getting to the cpanel versions due to firewalls blocking the cpanel ports.

I was trying to simply put a new alias in the httpd.conf:

with the group of other aliases/scriptaliases
Alias /newmail/ /home/squirrel/public_html/

Then I tried putting it in the alias area (above virtualhosts)
Alias /newmail/ "/home/squirrel/public_html/"

Doesn't seem to work.
I get Infernal Server Error

Basically, I just want to setup squirrel on it's own account (done and works), and have everyone be able to access it by simply typing /newmail/ on the end of their domain.

I could do the dns way, but then I'd have to change all those older accounts, versus one change in httpd.conf.

any ideas?
