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.
tar zxvf qmailadmin-1.2.16.tar.gz
cd /downloads/qmailadmin-1.2.16
sed -i "33i\#include \"config.h\"" command.c
patch < /downloads/patches/mailinglist.c.ezmlm7.patch
./configure \
autoreconf -vfi
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 ...

Quota OPTION is not getting in Qmailadmin. How can i get that option ?
Running the following appeared to help the below issue:

@seb
same .. me too
/var/log/apache2/error.log
ezmlm-list: fatal: Could not load plugin /usr/local/lib/ezmlm/sub-localhost.so
Ok i'm progressing. When i try to create a maling-mist with sql support, qmailadmin does not create any table, confirmed by the find command. With a sql database linked to my maling-list, i could easily copy the users of the old maling-list in the new, but i don't understand how ezmlm works, what i'm supposed to do to link my mailing-list to a sql database ?
Here my SQL configuration for my mailing-list

Thanks.
Hi,
The old install was set by the previous administrator of my company and i don't understand what he has done, there is no qmail folder in var folder, and he did not install vpopmail, so i can't apply the upgrade procedure.
On the other side i can access to the ezmlm database of the old install where the users of the maling-list are stored, can't i just ask to the new ezmlm install to use a copy of the old ezmlm database ?
Thanks.
@Seb : If you upgrade by following upgrade-from-qmailrocks.php, your list 'll be imported thanks to the rsync command
Hi,
I need to import a mailing-list with about 10000 users from an old qmail install on my fresh install, can i do it trough qmail admin ?

Hi Thibs,
Many thanks for your fantastic work on this guide. Just a quick note to say that there seem to be some compatibility issues between qmailadmin 1.2.16 and ezmlm-idx 7; I originally had problems managing mailing lists through qmailadmin. This patch solved the problems:

Hope that's of help (perhaps you could include the patch in your tarball?)
Cheers
Cyrus
