Introduction
As administrator of a highly centralized and industrial grade hosting system,
I need some webinterface to update data on a SQL database.
First I have used Postfix Admin
to manage mail data but I was looking for more specialized system that is
not a system that takes hours and is not configurable...
So I have started to modify Postfix Admin to suits my needs and so on.
Why OpenVISP Admin ?
I don't like 3 things on current Postfix Admin :
- The new license that has moved from MPL 1.1 to another proprietary one
- The bloody webforums and the fact that no authors was interressed by my patches
- No CVS / CVSweb to see changes between versions
What will be on OpenVISP Admin ?
More ! More ! More !
- In detail (currently done on CVS):
- Quota enforcement
- Domain aliases
- Antivirus Checkbox when creating domain
- Antispam Checkbox when creating domain
- Sender / Domain verification checkboxes when creating domain
- GreyListing Checkbox when creating domain
- Spam Assassing Tag
- Spam Assassin Tag score value
- Tranport value when domain is backup MX
- Be more user friendly eg one login password with rights to get what he is allowed to
- Allow Postmasters to get access to APC Masterswitch
- Allow postmaster to modify per aliases and per mailboxes SA values, etc..
- Greylisting using Policyd can be handled
- To be done :
- Adding mod_vhs option for FTP and Web servicing purposes
- Allow user to modify their SA values on their mailboxes but also on their aliases
- Allow users to see their weblogs
- Allow users to search in logs for rejected messages and the reason why
- Redesign auth system to be more flexible.
- ...

I want screen shots now!
You can see on the Screen shot page, how is the 0.90 version. There is still some TODO missing but it is mostly usuable for average functionalities.
How will this works ?
Interface
All the web interface will store data into MySQL (or PostgreSQL but this is not tested, I need some testers for that). The data is replicated and interfaced to a LDAP with a back_perl.
OpenLDAP back_perl
The back_perl scripts will be released when OpenVISP Admin 1.0 will be released.
CVSWeb
CVSWeb is locapted on Caudiumforge.
