Install Qmailadmin

Qmailadmin is going to provide us with a nice web based interface for administering mail accounts once they are setup through Vpopmail (or Vqadmin). From Qmailadmin we can create mailboxes, aliases, fowards, mail robots, mailing lists. You'll also find a few other handy functions as well. Qmailadmin is sort of the icing on the Qmail cake.

cd /downloads/
tar zxvf qmailadmin-1.2.16.tar.gz
cd /downloads/qmailadmin-1.2.16

./configure --enable-cgibindir=/var/www/mail/cgi-bin/ --enable-htmldir=/var/www/mail/cgi-bin/ --enable-imageurl=../../images --enable-imagedir=/var/www/mail/images --enable-domain-autofill --enable-ezmlmdir=/usr/local/bin/ezmlm --enable-autoresponder-path=/usr/bin/autorespond

make && make install-strip

cd /var/www/mail/images
rm middleleft1.png
wget http://mailadmin.thibs.com/images/middleleft1.png

We 'll test this web interface after completing the next step ...

fyi:

qmailadmin-1.2.15 does not compile with vpopmail-5.4.33

Use vpopmail-5.4.32 instead!

I did not get catch-all to work in my qmailadmin 1.2.16 supplied with the big tarball from this site.

All i got was a blank page.

nano /downloads/qmailadmin-1.2.16 command.c

+#include "config.h"

 

Done!

With latest QmailAdmin 1.2.16, you need to change the configure parameter for autoresponder :

 --enable-autoresponder_path=/usr/bin/autorespond
