VBoxAdm – Management-GUI for Postfix and Dovecot

Published on November 30, 2010 in Computer, Internet and Linux. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .

Last weekend I’ve released a new web-based management GUI for Mailservers running Postfix and Dovecot. It is called VBoxAdm.

Its features:

  • All-in-one mailserver solution
  • written in Perl (despite some tiny bits of PHP for the Roundcube integration)
  • MySQL Backend
  • Sane Database schema, w/ normalized tables
  • Roundcube integration which allows users to change their vacation messages and passwords
  • ships with its own Anti-Spam Proxy (no need for AMAViS, SpamPD or others)
  • and vacation auto-responder (RFC 3834 compliant)

You can grab it directly from here or get to its page for more details and some more screenshots.

Please beware, this is ALPHA quality code. Don’t use it in production yet. Some parts of the application haven’t even been tested partly. But the code ist more or less complete so besides testing and minor fixes it is in pretty good shape.

Installing Dell OpenManage on Debian squeeze

Published on November 11, 2010 in 64bit, Computer and Linux. 4 Comments

Recently Dell made their own OMSA packages available for Ubuntu. Unfortunately they didn’t provide a version for Debian and the dependencies can not be fulfilled with Debian package only. To be able to install OMSA from Dell you need to follow the steps on their page but before you proceed with aptitude install srvadmin-all you need to download two packages from Ubuntu and install them.

Afterwards you’ll be able to install and use OMSA in Debian squeeze. No lenny, sorry. The binary versions don’t add up.
