What 'ya got there??
DAP webmail alternative
« on: June 27, 2008, 07:46:19 PM »
I am still working on this. Unfortunately events of the last couple of weeks have put me behind. I have done three bare metal installs of Squirrelmail and had to wipe them each time. Squirrelmail requires you to change ownership of certain directories which is a good thing security wise, but it causes too many issues with trying to edit files etc, which are needed for the install. So we've moved on. The latest web based email client I am working on is nocc mail. Because of it's template system we can make it work for Webtv. However, nocc mail requires me to enter every domain in an array in order for everyone on the server to utilize it. And with over 240 domains on cap that's going to take a while. And what's worse is that I can't just paste all  of the domains on the server into it. It has to be formatted for each domain like:

$conf->domains[$i]->domain = 'sourceforge.net';

One domain per line. Sigh. We'll get that done though but I just have to build the array. It would be just so much easier if they could go with all domains on a certain IP address. But I digress.

Sounds tedious. It would be nice if you had a script that did it for you, wouldn't it?

Code:
<?php
if ( $_GET[url] )
{
  $domains = file_get_contents(trim($_GET[url]));
  $domains = explode( "\n", $domains);
  foreach( $domains as $key=>$val)
    {
      $name = trim($val);
      echo "*conf->domains[*i]->domain = *$name*;\n";
    }
  exit;
}
?>
<html>
<body>
  <center>
   <form>
    <input type="text" name="url">
    <input type="submit">
   </form>
  </center>
</body>
</html>

Hokay, NOccmail is history. Even more of a kludge than Squirrelmail.  I have been studying and there is another way to install Squirrelmail. I'm going to give that a shot. More info asap.

Squirrelmail works!

Squirrelmail isn't the problem. The problem is the screwed up URLs in cPanel. Once you work through the screwed up URL, you can both send and receive email.

Start at your cPanel:
http://your_domain.com:2082/frontend/x/index.html

Click Mail:
http://your_domain.com:2082/frontend/x/mail/email.html

Click Add/Remove/Manage:
http://your_domain.com:2082/frontend/x/mail/pops.html

Select a user:
Login
http://your_domain.com:2082/frontend/x/mail/webmailform.html?user=username@your_domain.com&actionhost=http://your_domain.com:2095&x=13&y=3

Source code for login form for anyone interested:

Code:
<form action="http://your_domain.com:2095/login/" method=POST target=_blank>
<input type=hidden name=user value="user@your_domain.com"> Enter Password for hairydj@your_domain.com:
<input type=password name=pass SIZE=16>
<input type=submit value=Login> </form>

After login, click Squirrelmail
Link in source code is
http://your_domain.com:2095/webmail/x/?login=1
Redirects to:

http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/index.php
Automatically redirects to bad URL
http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/login.phpsrc/login.php

Notice "src/login.php" is appended twice.

Corrected URL
http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/login.php

http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/login.php automatically redirects to ANOTHER bad URL:
http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/webmail.phpwebmail.php

Again, "webmail.php" appended twice

Corrected URL
http://your_domain.com:2095/3rdparty/squirrelmail/src/webmail.php

I had to delete over 1000 spam from each user. Spam Assassin works again! From the tags on my spam it looks like it kicked in farely recently. I changed its settings to auto trash.

Sorry was in a hurry last night. Glad you can access Smail. The forum at Cpanel has been going around and around on this for quite some time. They've come up with a couple of fixes that were worse than the problem. The main issue is where the email programs actually reside on the server. For security reasons I'm not going to go into the details but it's a funky set up at best.

Nice job Mike~
