Tim,

I recently switched from using sendmail to postfix as my MTA. I don't
remember making any changes to squirrelmail's config files. In fact, I'm
still using squirrelmail with postfix without any problems. I think the easy
squirrelmail integration between the MTA's is due to how the
"redhat-switch-mail" utility configures the /usr/sbin/sendmail link -and-
the fact that postfix supplies a sendmail compatability program. i.e.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] sbin]$ ls -l send*   
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Jul 10 09:52 sendmail ->
/etc/alternatives/mta
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        95400 Jul 30 15:47 sendmail.postfix
-rwxr-sr-x    1 root     smmsp     1852091 Mar 26 08:56 sendmail.sendmail

[EMAIL PROTECTED] alternatives]$ ls -l mta
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           26 Jul 30 16:03 mta ->
/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

FWIW: The only problems I remember having with squirrelmail (after I
switched to postfix) could always be traced back to a postfix related config
problem, not squirrelmail. In particular, configuring postfix to NOT call
spamassassin for e-mail's submitted through squirrelmail (locally).

Also: As a frame of reference, my postfix server is configured as a frontend
to an exchange server. i.e. No local delivery/procmail. Squirrelmail is
configured to use IMAP to read e-mail from the exchange server, but does
submit outbound e-mails using postfix's sendmail compatability program
through the localhost address.

$useSendmail            = true;  
$smtpServerAddress      = 'localhost';
$smtpPort               = 25;    
$sendmail_path          = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
