Revision of Qmailadmin from Tue, 02/14/2012 - 17:18

Revisions allow you to track differences between multiple versions of your content, and revert back to older versions.

qmailAdmin provides a web interface for managing a qmail system with virtual domains allowing you to administer adding/deleting users, Aliases, Forwards, Mailing lists and Autoresponders.

Any time you reconfigure and install vpopmail you will need to rebuild and install QmailAdmin. QmailAdmin statically links libvpopmail, so you need to recompile it whenever libvpopmail changes.

Install Apache
Since it is a web-based program, Qmailadmin requires a web server such as Apache or Lighttd be installed

Autorespond
Autorespond is used by QmailAdmin for "Mail Robots" and vacation messages.

cd /extra/src
wget http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/qmailadmin/autorespond-2.0.4.tar.gz
tar zxf /extra/src/autorespond-2.0.4.tar.gz
cd autorespond-2.0.4
make && make install

Qmailadmin
Version 1.2.15 is currently the stable version and has some fixes needed for onchange functionality. There is also a 1.2.16 devel version available.

cd /extra/src
wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qmailadmin/qmailadmin-stable/1.2.15/qmailadmin-1.2.15.tar.gz
tar zxf qmailadmin-1.2.15.tar.gz
cd qmailadmin-1.2.15

John Simpson has a patch for qmailadmin 1.2.12 with a few onchange fixes:.

wget http://qmail.jms1.net/vpopmail/qmailadmin-1.2.12-onchange.3.patch
patch < qmailadmin-1.2.12-onchange.3.patch

ezmlm-idx 0.7.x requires a patch as well:

patch < mailinglist.c.ezmlm7.patch

Create the directories to hold the webmail and Qmailadmin related web files:

mkdir -p /var/websites/mail/htdocs
mkdir -p /var/websites/mail/cgi-bin
mkdir -p /var/websites/mail/logs

Assuming you are using Apache, installed as per this site's install guide:

  • Without ezmlm:
    cd /extra/src/qmailadmin-1.2.15
    ./configure \
    --enable-cgibindir=/var/websites/mail/cgi-bin \
    --enable-htmldir=/var/websites/mail/htdocs \
    --enable-ezmlmdir=n
  • With ezmlm:
    cd /extra/src/qmailadmin-1.2.15
    ./configure \
    --enable-cgibindir=/var/websites/mail/cgi-bin \
    --enable-htmldir=/var/websites/mail/htdocs \
    --enable-ezmlmdir=/usr/local/bin/ezmlm \
    --disable-ezmlm-mysql

Then compile qmailadmin, and install it:

make && make install-strip

Change the permissions of the installed files:

chown -R nobody:nobody /var/websites/mail/htdocs/images
