Edwin Groothuis 5140d21c9d mail/squirrelmail - Port Docs in wrong location
Installation of mail/squirrelmail places the ports documentation
	in PREFIX/squirrelmail, and you are not able to not install
	the documentation with NOPORTDOCS.

    - installs all documentation to the DOCSDIR directory
     - fixes security of the port by moving the attachment
       and user preferences out of the web servers document
       root (moves default data_dir & attachment_dir from
       SQUIRRELDIR/data to sub-directorys under
       /var/spool/squirrelmail) as recommended on the
       SquirrelMail web site.
     - adds a periodic/daily script to clean the attachment
       directory of abandoned files (disabled by default)
     - location of squirrelmail can be set by either defining
       SQUIRRELDIR or WITHOUT_WWWDIR when patching and installing
       the port.
     - BENTO FIX: The /var/spool/squirrelmail directory is
       created by pkg-install, but it wasn't being uninstalled.
       Connditionalized the creation of this directory depending
       on how the BATCH variable is set. A message in pkg-deinstall
       advises the port user to remove it if no longer needed.

You now need to add an alias to apache's httpd.conf pointing to
%%SQUIRRELDIR%% in order to access SquirrelMail from
your web browser, or create a VirtualHost with DocumentRoot set
to that directory.
For SquirrelMail to work properly you will need to make sure the
following option is set in your php.ini file:
file_uploads = On
If you have problems with SquirrelMail saying "you must login" after
you just have, the following php.ini option may help:
session.auto_start = 1
In order to do your administrative configuration you need to
cd %%SQUIRRELDIR%% && ./configure
SquirrelMail will not work until this has been done.
