    Default Accessing Squirrelmail directly?

    I've been trying to get my server to have full squirrelmail access directly using

    webmail.domain.com


    however, no matter now i redirect the link, i still have to log in to cpanel first. before i can access squirrelmail


    i want to set it up like this webmail.apdir.com

    so that my users can access squirrelmail without going thru cpanel

    please help me!!!

    also, hotmail seems to be rejecting my email both outgoing and incoming. have no idea whats going on there...

    Going to domain.com/webmail will get you to the webmail login without being forced to login to the cPanel interface

    As for hotmail, search these forums, there are many threads about that issue.

    when i use domain.com/webmail

    it will only goto the cpanel login with a pop up asking for user/pw and not directly to the squirrelmail log in page.

    You could just install squirrelmail where you want it.

    It's just a open-source PHP script. http://www.squirrelmail.org/

    That's right.

    SquirrelMail is just a script written in PHP. It's not an application, or a mail server by any means. It hooks into (either via Pop or Imap) to your running mail server after you set it up.

    If you were trying to install two copies of Exim (the mail server) for example, then you would have a great problem.
