In the Terminal application, use a text editor to edit /etc/httpd/httpd_macosxserver.conf and
add the following line:

Include /etc/httpd/httpd_squirrelmail.conf

Where you add this line depends on whether your server hosts multiple Web sites and
whether you want all or some hosted Web sites to have WebMail.

If your server hosts only one Web site or you want all Web sites to have WebMail, add the
“Include” line outside all <Virtual Host> blocks.

If you want only some Web sites hosted by your server to have WebMail, add the “Include”
line at or near the top of the <Virtual Host> block for each of your Web sites that you want
to have WebMail service.

Here is an example of the beginning of a <Virtual Host> block for a Web site at 192.0.32.72
with the “Include” line added:

<VirtualHost 192.0.32.72:16080>

ServerName www.example.com

Include /etc/httpd/httpd_squirrelmail.conf

Add the default document name “index.php” to the default documents for the site.

This allows the server to display the default WebMail page if a client requests a URL for a
folder without including a document name. See “Setting the Default Page for a Web Site” on
page 351 for more infor
mation on adding a default document name.

Configuring WebMail

WebMail is based on SquirrelMail, an open-source module for the Apache Web server that
provides Web service for Mac OS X Server. SquirrelMail has several options that you can
configure to integrate WebMail with your site. The options and their default settings are
as follows:

m Organization Name is displayed on the main WebMail page when a user logs in. The

default is Mac OS X Server WebMail.

m Organization Logo specifies the relative or absolute path to an image file.

m Organization Title is displayed as the title of the Web browser window while viewing a

WebMail page. The default is Mac OS X Server WebMail.

m Trash Folder is the name of the IMAP folder where mail service puts messages when the

user deletes them. The default is Deleted Messages.
