Ok. Sorry again. I admit not having read the guidelines.

* IMAP Server (courier-imap 4.0.1)
* PHP (4.3.2-25.ent)
* Web server (Apache 2.0.46-54.ent)
* Platform (Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.0 update 6)
* How your software was installed (packages like RPM)
* SquirrelMail version (1.4.3a-11EL3)
* Plugins (besides plugins provided in the redhat rpm packages I've
added abook_import_export, address_add, check_quota, compatibility
v2.0.1, login_notes, notes, smime, at the moment, anyway, I don't suffer
from plugin conflict issues or at least I'm not aware of them)

I've also installed this rpms:
- postfix (2.0.16)
- courier-authlib (0.56)
- maildrop (1.8.0)

The backends is on an external directory server:
IBM LDAP Server on iSeries V5R2M0

Now I've downloaded the latest version of serverside plugin from the
sourceforge site:

1.5-1.2.7-RC1

(NOTE: not tried cvs)

I have attached my changes to the backend.php file as an unified diff
file. IMHO default backend rules are flawed.

You find my changes to backend.php in the patch:

1) added '/' to maildir path

2) added exception to if rule, so that failing to find the path does not
fail to deliver mail.

Sorry again.


I've seen that with this version LDAP backend support has been added and
I've given it a try. I've struggled a bit to compile the filtercmd
command, so I will supply in the mail a second file, which is the
makefile I've used.

As I have time, I will send you an italian language translation po file,
if this is interesting.

In the meantime, I've another question!
I've seen vacation variables in the config.php file, and I'm eager to
use them to let my users set messages for vacation time, but I've not
understood if I need another plugin or if I have missed something in
this one.
