Also you may want to check out webmin. You can remotely administrator many 
programs, and the interface is web-based. I think you can also admin a 
mailserver, don't quote me on that though.

Hmmm, only thing about webmin, last time I checked, it had some security
problems.  If all else fails, you could always write your own using
perl/php, shouldn't prove to be too hard, though again, security is a
major consideration.

I found that as webmin increased in version numbers, it became less and less accessible with lynx the cat.

Maybe that's changed since.

True.  I haven't been able to really use it with lynx the cat but I
usually use it in internet distroyer

Re: Email server for Linux

[Igor Gueths]

I have a friend that has Webmin. Not sure on the version though. I find
that I can use it fairly well with Lynx actually.

May you code in the power of the source,
may the kernel, libraries, and utilities be with you,
throughout all distributions until the end of the epoch.

I have webmin latest verson here and use it like at school to remote
administer this box.  I have tried it with lynx and I could use it but it
did get a little bit confusing.

This is correct.

But I've been pleasantly surprised with recent versions of links the
chain. Not that I've tried it with webmin. I prefer to learn what I'm
doing.

RE: Email server for Linux

[Dawes, Stephen]

Take a look at squirrelmail it has a lot of the functionality that you
are looking for out of the box, and it also has plug-ins to fill in the
missing gaps. Squirrelmail is found at 
www.squirrelmail.org
I use it on my computers at home and am quite impressed with it.

Oh yeah, squirrelmail is now packaged with Red Hat 8.x

Email server for Linux

[Lorenzo Prince]

Hi.
Can anyone recommend a good mail server for Linux that supports multiple domains and has a web interface with a signup or new user page?  I am currently running such a server on my windows system, but I want to transfer all my servers to use Linux instead, because the more I use Linux, the more I love it.  But this is the only thing right now that is keeping me from keeping my dual-boot windows/Linux system booted into Linux at all times.  I would appreciate any and all help and/or recommendations in this matter.
Thanks,
Lorenzo Prince

Yes I have this installed here and find it quite usefulll.  Only problem
is it doesn't allow web baseed admin of users.

Does this mean that users can't add their own accounts, or does it simply mean I
can't access their accounts to make administrative changes remotely from the
web?

Re: Email server for Linux

[Gregory Nowak]

If you want to do remote administration, use ssh. It's bound to be more flexible then any web interface.

As for a mail system with a web interface, I use qmail myself, which does support multiple as well as virtual domains.
You can find it at http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html

I use sqwebmail for the web interface,
http://www.courier-mta.org

Re: Email server for Linux

[Darrell Shandrow]

Hi Lorenzo,

The ability to remote administer a UNIX based server does not seem to be
widely available.  This is unfortunate, as Windows based mail servers have
sported this functionality for years.  The mentioned Squirrel Mail is not a
web administrative interface.  Instead, it is a good interface for users of
the mail server to retrieve and send their e-mail.  It is a web-based e-mail
client.

I am aware of two solutions that provide web-based administration of an
e-mail server on a UNIX platform.  Unfortunately, I do not yet have direct
experience with either.

The first is called Courier MTA.  This is freely available.  I've heard
mixed reviews of this; many administrators use only some of its modules.
Check it out at http://www.courier-mta.org and possibly try it out on a
non-production box if available.

The other solution is the commercial version of the venerable Sendmail MTA.
Check out http://www.sendmail.com for a product called something like the
Sendmail Switch...

Hope this helps.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay what?!

Is there any particular reason that a direct connection to your server via ssh isn't good enough? Helluva lot more flexible than anything else, as you have direct access to anything you want that way. If you *must* have some sort of Web interface (if that's what you really meant),that's different and I couldn't speak to it. However, to say that you cannot remotely administer a *ix box and that that capability doesn't exist is at best preposterous.

Re: Email server for Linux

[Lorenzo Prince]

Oh, no.  I didn't mean to cause confusion.  I need a web interface with a signup
page which will let my user do basic administration on their own accounts and
check their mail.  SSH is certainly good enough for me to administer the server,
in fact, I don't even want a web interface for that, as it is less secure IMHO.
I just need to be able to set up email accounts for the 9 domains that point to
my machine with the ability to add more in the future, and I need a web
interface for people to create/check/administer their *own* accounts.
Thanks,

Re: Email server for Linux

Hi Lorenzo and Buddy,

I think I may have contributed to some confusion here, too!  Of course, you
can remotely administer a *nix box using ssh (hopefully *not* telnet!)  What
I meant was that there are a lack of freely available *nix mail servers that
sport web-based administration capabilities...

Hmmmm, user signup...  Well, my former employer used a bunch of shell
scripts, PHP and such to create a rather clunky administrative interface to
its mail servers.  It never worked very well.  I know that the Postfix MTA
(http://www.postfix.org) can operate from a LDAP directory.  PHP programs
could be written to add to and modify such a LDAP directory.
