Open WebMail is a web-based email system that is built on the Neomail 1.14 platform created by Ernie Miller.
The software offers many key features to its users, which include auto-login, support for multiple languages and multiple charsets, strong MIME messaging capabilities, full content search, draft folder support, confirm reading support, spelling check, support for vCard compliant address books, POP3 support, mail filter support, as well as spam and antivirus support through SpamAssassin and ClamAV, respectively. Furthermore, OpenWebMail provides calendar functionality with reminder and notification support, webdisk support, and HTTP compression support.
For system administrators, OpenWebMail offers features such as faster folder access, efficient message movement, smaller memory footprint, graceful file lock, various authentication modules, PAM support, remote SMTP relaying, virtual hosting, user alias, pure virtual user support, per-user capability configuration, and persistent running through SpeedyCGI.
However, to run OpenWebMail, there are certain requirements that must be met by the system. The system must have Apache web server with cgi enabled, and Perl 5.005 or above. Additionally, certain libraries such as CGI.pm-3.05.tar.gz, libnet-1.19.tar.gz, Digest-MD5-2.33.tar.gz, and Text-Iconv-1.2.tar.gz are required. Other libraries are optional, such as CGI-SpeedyCGI-2.22.tar.gz for persistent running, Compress-Zlib-1.33.tar.gz for HTTP compression, ispell-3.1.20.tar.gz for spellcheck, Quota-1.4.10.tar.gz for Unixfs quota support, Authen-PAM-0.14.tar.gz for auth_pam support, and openssl-0.9.7d.tar.gz for pop3 over SSL support, among others.
OpenWebMail has made some improvements in its latest release. The release fixes several reported XSS vulnerabilities, and all languages and character sets have been standardized on ISO-3066. Additionally, UTF-8 character sets are generated during system setup for almost all languages, and timezones are now supported from the system zoneinfo file. Changelogs are also generated from SVN.
