Hi there I am having problems allowing Postfix admin (the most up to date one or any version) working with iRedMail, they keep refusing to support this but I don't feel why I should have to pay for this kind of service at all, unless I am asking for some support from professional techs for support.

Has anyone got Postfix Admin working with iRedMail v0.8.2?

Here is a quote from iRedmail site:
"iRedMail doesn't ship PostfixAdmin since iRedMail-0.7.0, but the core columns in iRedMail SQL structure are almost same as PostfixAdmin, so you can install PostfixAdmin manually for MySQL backend to manage mail accounts."

Have you tried this already?

Yes sorry I had done and done that once before, least I now know that when you install iRedMail the postmaster account is actually just a normal user as far as postfixadmin is concerned, the only way (for some silly reason) the postmaster user is not added to the admin table.

You must therefore add an admin user to iRedMail then setup postfixadmin and login as the user created after postmaster account (as long as it's a global admin), then I was good to go.

What I don't understand about all this is why when I put all the configs back in for iRedMail postfix admin refused to work even when going through the exact same steps as I should have done initially but later.

But yes I will now mark this as solved.

PS I was just thinking of other users, didnt read a post I found explaining this somewhat before actually doing this, hence this question.

Unfortunately this is not all.
For example the definition of the "active" field in at least on maybe more tables has changed from boolean to smallint
or something similar (I can't verify now). This also causes problems with Postfixadmin.

There may be other changes as well. I started talking to one of the PostfixAdmin maintainers if it would be possible
to reduce the amount of incompatibilties (maybe be providing them with patches) so that postfixadmin becomes usable again out of the box in the iRedmail context.

Unfortunately I havn't received a reply yet.

If you run the postfixadmin install, it will automatically patch a number of the DB tables.
I fear that this in turn will cause some iRedmail incompatibilty.

There seem to be a number of people interested in getting this to work again properly.

Oh right I mean works for me when I run the add function for an admin in iRedAdmin or what ever it's called, it's just I went straight into the postfixadmin part first, hence the error I got, which is why I got confused.

I mean the quota table doesn't remove the entry but got that work, I noticed some parts that yea don't work but I would be unable to get those working, but for what I personally use it for, works fine, it's just that annoying first step I found problematic.

Also I would like to thank you for submitting that request, it's good that people like you are willing to do that!

Let's hope they give you a response, will you be posting that in here at all or?

PS I think say the active part would be a simple change I would have thought, but the changing yea would have to be done each time you installed but if their doing that as a patch or adding a patch perhaps after your request that would fix it yea.

Otherwise I would have to go into the logic and work out where you can change that value, of the SQL query to yea adhere to the way iRedMail works with iRedAdmin, postfixadmin's a great application I think, as I said I am a big believer we should get the option of using either postfixadmin or iRedAdmin to install instead of being limited to the unsupported restricted features of iRedMail if their offering free email services to users, big fan of the open source community on free software like postfixadmin

Now I see what you mean, I just added test user (just a random one off the top of my head) to my email mailboxes and you are quite right I decided to leave the tickbox as inactive but still adds it in as being active, how annoying!
