The feature you need is described in INSTALL in the source directory - this
document is well worth reading carefully.
/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/hostname - when SqWebMail is installed with
a basic configuration for a single domain, SqWebMail sets the domain
in the return address for outgoing messages to the defined system
hostname. If this file exists it will be used instead of the defined
system hostname.
i.e. create a file called "hostname" containing just "mydomain.com".
The actual directory may not be /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/, depending on
how you ./configure'd sqwebmail. It's the same directory that contains
the files "authdaemonrc", "authmodulelist" etc.

"the maildir doesn't exist" - you need to create the maildir before they can
login. The easiest way is just to send a welcome mail to the user.
The end-users should not be in the exim group; it's only the system
administrators who should be in this group (it allows them to read the mail
logs, force a run of the mail queue, freeze and unfreeze messages etc)

Brian.
