In general, I think I know how its supposed to work. I use mod_ngobjweb from 
SOPE to serve sogo and ogo on my openbsd boxen. 
Some days ago, I stumbled across IntarS, found it interesting, and I wanted 
to play with it. I got it compiled and it starts on my OpenBSD test box, but 
now the apache module is missing ;)
On the other hand, I think I could just use mod_ngobjweb, and I guess it 
would do the job too.

The apache2 module is only a cgi program that needs to be placed in a 
cgi-bin directory? I thought it is a apache module like mod_rewrite or 
mod_proxy.

I tried, but your server refuses to talk to me, he has the opinion that the 
IP address of my server is "dynamic". Well, it somehow resides in a dynamic 
address range, and the host name looks like a dynamic one, but the address 
is just not dynamic. Don't know if you could whitelist my mail servers IP 
address. I have this problem with a few others too, but my provider is a bit 
too *** to fix that, however that does not really belong here ;)
