None of those are valid configure settings for sqwebmail!!

 --with-cachedir takes a directory argument
 --enable-webpass does not take an argument (apart from 'yes' or 'no')
 --with-module is not a valid option at all (should be --with-authvchkpw)

But in any case if you are using the port you probably ought to be using the
port options:

  make -DWITH_VCHKPW

Read /usr/ports/mail/sqwebmail/Makefile for information about the options
available to you.

You forgot 'make install-configure'. Or if the port does not do this, then
the port is broken. You can do it manually:

  cd work/sqwebmail-4.0.3
  gmake install-configure

You would, if you have no configuration files.

Clearly, authvchkpw is not supported in your configuration, because it's not
in the available list of modules. That's because you didn't supply the right
options when you compiled it.

Start again - and if the port doesn't work, try compiling it yourself and
follow the instructions in INSTALL.
