Hello Janathan,
Thanks for the advices, I've upgraded to 1.4.4, and some bugs I noticed
before (like after posting) went away.
But I'm still blocked with the vacation plugin. I'm now getting many errors
(displayed a the top of squirrelmail page) saying "An error occurred
downloading the file: Directory traversal not allowed" or "An error occurred
uploading the file: Directory traversal not allowed" as soon as I click on
"vacation message" in options.
Which directory is it speaking about? And which rights should I add?

$ man shells

You should be able to add /bin/false to /etc/shells I think without
any harm coming about to your system.

I think I answered that question within the last week.  Sendmail
restricts applications it can run to "trusted" applications.  You need
to try googling for "smrsh" and take a read.

You should upgrade your SquirrelMail version.  1.4.3 has a known
security issue in it.
