Thanks

First of all, thank you for you interest in the [[vMail.Admin]] project. This project was created for one purpose; to administer SQL based email accounts for Postfix servers. As a byproduct, development to support Courier-IMAP, Maildrop, SpamAssassin? and other SQL based services have been implemented to take advantage of common SQL databases.

I, personally, prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL for performance reasons. I've conducted tests and found PostgreSQL to have a slight speed advantage over MySQL, which can be of significance to high traffic mail servers. Besides, PostgreSQL remains faithful to SQL and it contains less lines of code. Less lines of code means less chance for bugs which is a big plus in my book.

Development Environment

vMail.Admin is developed and tested under aGentoo Linux environment. PHP developers using other distributions are strongly encouraged to join the development team since all distributions are different and some require special attention. Currenly, we seek PHP developers using Debian to help with some issues unique to Debian.

HOWTO Guides

All HOWTO guides found throughout this wiki have been written specifically for use with vMail.Admin. While this wiki has been compiled to assist you with configuring several packages required for vMail.Admin, you remain completely responsible for installing all packages. No support is given for failed or stubborn installations (not applicable to vMail.Admin proper). vMail.Admin requires a working mail system, both sending and receiving. Remember that vMail.Admin is a front end for Postfix domain and user management only and should be considered as such to your existing mail server. Please keep this in mind.
