MailAdmin.. How do I?

[philletourneau]

Hello All,

I would really appreciate some kind of direction in my attempt to install MailAdmin.

I have been scouring this site for all kinds of info, and so far I’ve found most of what I’m looking for. I’ve successfully implemented SpamAssassin 3.0 and ClamAv thanks to a great walkthrough on this site. I’m running the standard Postfix/Cyrus setup on OS 10.3.7 server.

What I’m really looking for is an easy method to administer mail on multiple domains. The parts that confuse me with MailAdmin, are for example configuring files that I don’t see in the package, and things relating to SASL and Pam, which I have not had to touch until now.

I have read some of the maxo.captainnet.net materials, but I don’t want to change mail servers, since my config already works, so ECM is not an option for me.

Any advice or docs on general virtual domain mail hosting would be greatly appreciated as well.

Can anyone give me some direction?

I have the same problem. There is at HOWTO on the Apple Forums: http://discussions.info.apple.com/[email protected]@.68971f76 but this doesn’t work for me. I don’t know why. Maybe somebody here have a better howto??

I hope so.

if all your looking for is a gui to edit the postfix conig files, why not just use webmin? i would think mailadmin would require upgrading postfix and mysql, which can get messy with future updates. with webmin you can administor clamav, spamassassin, amavisd and postfix from a web interface.

what “webmin” are you talking about here?
Thanks

http://www.webmin.com/

the postfix and spamassassin modules are installed by default. you can also install third party modules for amavis and clamav.

amavisd-new module:
http://webuser.fh-furtwangen.de/~grund/AMaViSD/webmin-AMaViSD.html

clamav module:
http://labs.libre-entreprise.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32

i have these 2 modules installed, but i can’t say i have found them too useful… i think it’s easier to tweak amavis-clamav by hand.

hope this helps 🙂

This doesn’t work for me. I want it in MySQL and I will postfix recompile if it is needed. But I want to know how.

well, postfix is pretty easy to install… i would suggest using google.
i would also suggest not just “upgrading” the stock postfix on 10.3.*
install it in /usr/local/etc/postfix like:
make makefiles CCARGS=’-DDEF_CONFIG_DIR=\”/usr/local/etc/postfix\” ….

read the notes in the postfix folder for more options, including mysql support.
