Authenticating Neomail with Apache mod_auth

Hi
I run a number of Perl based applications e.g Calendar Scheduling,  and
authenticate using Apache mod_auth. Since I have captured the
authenticated user as an ENV var REMOTE_USER I wanted to then access
Neomail without further authentication. ( Note , new Linux users are
added are added automatically to my mod_auth password file )

I thought I could do this by adding the following to checklogin.pl
my $remoteuser = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'};
if (length($remoteuser)> 1) {exit 0;}
( this is executed before check for ( $passwdfile && $username &&
$password )


and call neomail with arguments
neomail.pl?action=login

No Luck so far.

I would appreciate any hints or tips

best regards

S Kane
