Features

  • manage mailboxes, virtual domains and aliases
  • vacation/out-of-office messages
  • alias domains (forwarding one domain to another with recipient validation)
  • users can manage their own mailbox (change alias, password and vacation message)
  • quota support for single mailboxes and total quota of a domain
  • display used quota
  • fetchmail integration
  • commandline client postfixadmin-cli for those who don’t want to click around in a web interface ;-)
  • Squirrelmail plugin

Overview

PostfixAdmin has the concept of:

  • global administrator; think root, administrator, superuser
  • domain administrators
  • regular users

When PostfixAdmin is initially installed, the setup.php url

  • creates the global administrators account
  • Using this global account, one can also create domain administrators who are limited to making changes within the domains you specify for them.

Needless to say, as a global administrator, you can do all kinds of bad things such as deleting domains and stopping delivery of mail to a particular mailbox. So take care, and if unsure take semi-regular backups.

If a login is not an administrator i.e. ‘regular’ user who just has a mailbox on the server, then the user will only see functionality to modify their own account - e.g. change password, edit forward records and specify whether on vacation (out of office) etc.
