I have been looking through the documents out there and haven't been able to find anything to help with a large migration to Horde/IMP from a SquirrelMail environment. Anyone have any pointers/gotchas?
For virtual hosting, do I have to setup an instance of Horde/IMP on every single virtual host? What I had done with SquirrelMail in the past was use Apache redirect to have all URLs like:
http://www.virtualhost.com/webmail/ or http://mail.virtualhost.com/
all redirect to:
http://www.webmailhost.com/webmail/
This way I only have to maintain one webmail installation for possibly 100's of domains. But I notice in Imp's server.php config file:
" * realm: What to append to usernames for preferences and Horde
* authentication to prevent login clashes on virtual host setups."
" * maildomain: What to put after the @ when sending mail. i.e. if you
* want all mail to look like "From: max at the-triumvirate.net" set
* maildomain to "the-triumvirate.net". It is generally useful when
* the imap host is different from the mail receiving host. This will
* also be used to complete unqualified addresses in the compose
* screen."
These seem to imply that I need a seperate servers.php config file for every virtual host.
I am not entirely sure if this is a concern for me. I use qmail/vmailmgr for virtual hosting and everyone's username is essentially unique because their username is their full email address.
I really want to move to Horde/Imp as I have heard so many good things about it, but these two are kind of show stoppers at the moment. My apologies if I missed some obvious documentation.
Thanks,
Josh
