I don't use Squirrelmail, so I don't know about how to edit it.

For openwebmail, that is in the openwebmail.rc   in each users home 
directory.
So, you could write a perl script to check all the openwebmailrc files for
@www.
and replace with
@

Or, a perl one liner like
perl -p -i -e 's/\@www./\@/g' 
/home/sites/www.*/users/*/.openwebmail/openwebmailrc

Although I did test the line above, make sure you have a backup before doing 
it.
Sometimes these perl one liners will do things like, "there was no memory or 
no disk space   so I just blnaked out the file for you"
