About ViMbAdmin Virtual Mailbox Administration
ViMbAdmin (pronounced vim-be-admin and meaning Virtual Mailbox Administration) provides a web based virtual mailbox administration system for use with mail transport agents such as Postfix, Sendmail and qmail for example. It allows system administrators to add and manage domains and to then add, edit and delete mailboxes and aliases for those domains.
Features
As of version 2.0.0 released March 2012, standard and enhanced features compared to PostfixAdmin include:
- Super administrator user level with full access;
- Administration user level with access only to assigned domains and their mailboxes and aliases;
- Super admins can create and modify super admins and admins;
- JQuery Datatable throughout for quick in browser searching and pagination;
- Create, modify and purge domains including limiting the number of mailboxes and aliases a non-super admin can create per-domain;
- Activate / deactivate admins, domains, mailboxes and aliases at the click of a button;
- Full logging;
- Facility for end users (mailbox owners) to change their password;
- Single login point for all administrators whether super or not.
Additional features include:
- Very configurable including:
- set default values for quotas, number of mailboxes and aliases for domain creation;
- added additional columns to the mailbox schema (including UID, GID, homedir and maildir);
- templated welcome and settings email for users;
- plain, MD5, SHA1, crypt or salted MD5, SHA1 and crypt mailbox password support;
- admin users table is secured with salted SHA1 passwords;
- Forgotten Password / Password Reset function for admins;
