openwebmail hasn't been updated since 2006...

squirrelmail is ancient and barely maintained.


Antivirus and antispam are handled by the SMTP system which operates on the
backend of the webmail, by the time incoming mail gets to dovecot imap
storage for the user accounts it has already been processed.
Antivirus/antispam handled similarly on other servers for outgoing SMTP
traffic.

If you had to put up a public facing webmail interface for people to use,

use?

Roundcube?
https://roundcube.net/
- good

Rainloop?
http://www.rainloop.net/
- never used
- w/o db support, how you maintain a (real) list of x,000 users and pwd

Something else?

http://squirrlemail.org
- good

http://openwebmail.org/
- least effort to get webmail running ( esp if time is limited )

http://horde.org
- possibly confusing install process

---------
