Hi,
I have been tasked with setting up a server (Well 2 actually!) I have a test bed set u and configured the way i require it. The only thing i'm still missing is some sort of management for Virtual mailboxes. Currently using Postfix/Dovecot combination. Dovecot is using separate user and password files per domain, But I cant expect other people to be able to manage text files and commands to update users.

I have been looking at virtualmin for complete management, but am wondering about how restrictive it will be on the rest of the server.

So the question, is there an easy way (Or easier) of managing virtual mailboxes? (Users/passwords can be stored however works best.

Currently using Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 but server installation will be either 8.04LTS or 10.02? (Right Number?)

Regards, Cole

Use Postfixadmin. It is a PHP & MySQL interface to Postfix management and stores virtual mailbox tables in a database. You are then free to use PFA's own management interface, or you may write your own scripts and what have you to drop entries straight into the database.

I'm currently using it for everything *except* the virtual mailbox entries because they are stored in LDAP, although I'm considering running an export to put them into MySQL to save lookup times and save load on the LDAP server since the user base changes so infrequently anyway.

Call me stupid but what else does postfixadmin manage?
