When I saw that I needed PHP for this setup, I began researching how to 
limit php usage to the apps installed.  I have lots of reading on this.  
I know this is hard.  I do have access to resources to harden this php 
setup.

Ignorance is frustration.  I have been reading steadily since I started 
on this a month ago.  Just, it seems not dealing with the actual setup 
requirements.  So far, I will start with limiting web access to local 
systems only.  Remote systems will have to VPN in. This is only a start, 
I know there is more to do. If it was not for a couple users, I would 
not provide a webmail interface even with them having to VPN in.
