Hi All,

I installed SquirrelMail (a great WebMail interface) for a client.  It
uses PHP (yeah, I recommend against PHP for security reasons).

UNFORTUNATELY, the PHP configuration value in /etc/php.ini prevents
SquirrelMail from working:

  php_admin_value open_basedir "/home/apache/www.tla.com"

This is even though our page to get SquirrelMail and the redirection
both are directories under:

  /home/apache/www.tla.com

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
