Hi Ken,
Thank you very much !!!
I have tried your first suggestion and it's working perfectly well now
:)
All I had to do was to edit this file;
/usr/share/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php
comment out the line below;
// $imap_stream = @fsockopen($imap_server_address, $imap_port,
$error_number, $error_string, 15);
and add the following new section instead;
........................................................................
...............
if (function_exists('stream_context_create') &&
function_exists('stream_socket_client')) {
$socket_options = array('socket' => array('bindto' =>
'X.X.X.X:0'));
$socket_context = stream_context_create($socket_options);
$imap_stream =
stream_socket_client("$imap_server_address:$imap_port",
$error_number,$error_string, 15, STREAM_CLIENT_CONNECT,
$socket_context);
}
else {
$imap_stream = @fsockopen($imap_server_address, $imap_port,
$error_number, $error_string, 15);
}
........................................................................
...............
Where X.X.X.X is my specific IP address that I want the Squirrelmail to
bind to.
That's it :)
Thank you very much indeed,
Best Regards
Pawel

source IP address?
one possible solution -
http://blog.nachtarbeiter.net/2008/08/21/binding-phps-fsockopen-to-a-spe
cific-ip-address/
So, you'd need to make some changes in: functions/imap_general.php and
test to see if it worked..
Or, if you don't mind all of your outgoing traffic to your imap server
going out this virtual interface, just use the route command.
route add aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd dev eth0:1
and drop that into rc.local so it persists on restart..
