User-Agent: IMP/PHP3 Imap webMail Program 2.0.10
Subject: Re: webmail
Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org

I use apache-php3-1.3.6+mod_ssl-2.2.8, mysql-3.22.22, 
imap-uw-4.5, qpopper-2.53, procmail-3.13.1 and 
ispell-3.1.20 (all installed from the ports).  IMP uses 
the local UNIX password file for authentication and 
writes the users files in ~home/mail under their UID so 
its almost like a web-pine in functionality, it uses the 
mysql for the addressbook and your personal settings 
(e-mail, signature).  I use the sendmail configuration 
that comes installed on the 3.2-RELEASE and found it to 
be a seamless integration, I can use my pop3 just fine 
(IMP is using IMAP).  I did however have to be careful 
in my appche.conf in respect to directory permissions 
i.e....

<Directory "/usr/local/www/email/config">
    AllowOverride None
    Options None
    Order deny,allow
    deny from all
</Directory>

I only have 7 users on this machine, but they are fairly 
abusive and have yet to report any problems that we 
haven't been able to sort.  I have heard that IMP 
consumes alot of system resources under even a medium 
workload, but this came from a person using the *cough* 
*cough* NON-UNIX - UNIX like operating system, who knows 
what a properly configured UNIX machine could yeild.
My IMP interface can be veiwed at www.slipmat.net/email.
