It took a few attempts to make dspam work properly, but I'm very pleased with the setup. In regards to you questions, you will have to install an imap server to use squirrelmail. I prefer courier-imap because it's pretty easy to setup and the courier-authlib port lets me setup md5, ssl, etc. connections. The only catch with courier-imap is that it will not read mail from mbox mailboxes (/var/spool/mail). You have to be using Maildir mailboxes, which I'm not sure sendmail will do natively. I know you can use Sendmail -> Procmail -> Maildir though. Figure out which approach works best for you, and I can probably help you with the implementation. Ken Ebling
