### The End of SquirrelMail in cPanel

- **Episode:** [1118: Birth Strike](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1118-birth-strike.md)
- **Published:** 2019-03-08
- **Time:** 1:07:57–1:10:26
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1118-birth-strike/chapter/the-end-of-squirrelmail-in-cpanel.md

SquirrelMail is being removed from cPanel, effectively ending the era of the classic webmail interface. The decision stems from the software's lack of updates since 2013 and its incompatibility with modern, secure versions of PHP. While some users remain loyal to the interface, the security risks associated with unpatched flaws have forced hosting providers to discontinue its inclusion in standard server installs.

### Personal Email Server Management and School Curriculums

- **Published:** 2013-03-28
- **Time:** 20:47–26:36
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/499-spam-horse/chapter/personal-email-server-management-and-school-curriculums.md

The conversation turns to the technical challenges of managing private email servers to avoid blacklists and commercial fees. One host describes using a Mac Mini server with custom Thunderbird rules and SquirrelMail to filter spam. This leads to a critique of modern education, suggesting that schools should teach practical skills like compiling Linux kernels and setting up servers instead of current social curricula.

John C. Dvorak expresses his reluctance to depend on third-party email providers like Gmail, preferring to maintain control over his own mail servers. Adam Curry argues for the superior search capabilities of Gmail and explains how controlling the MX record in DNS settings provides the ultimate security against being locked out by a provider.
