Description : vexim is a php interface with mysql backend for managing virtual mail domains and users
vexim is a set of php scripts that use a simple mysql/postgresql backend
to store and manage virtual mail domains and users with
exim4-daemon-heavy. also it includes configuration for spamassassin and
clamav, either domain-wide or user-level settings. it works pefectly
together with courier software (impa/imap-ssl, pop/pop-ssl, authdaemon),
and IlohaMail as webmail interface for the virtual mail users.
it depends on any httpd that supports php (php4, php4-mysql, php4-pear
at least), mysql or postgresql as backend, exim4-daemon-heavy. it
recommends spamassassin and clamav. for virtual mail users access it
depends on pop and/or imap daemons that are capable of mysql backend,
therefor recommendes courier's imap and pop.
my setup on some machines: apache2, php5, mysql5, exim4-daemon-heavy,
spamassassin, clamav, courier (pop, imap, pop-ssl, imap-ssl, authdaemon)
works out of the box, by creating one systemuser vmail (uig/gid 99) and
home directory /var/opt/vmail. in there the virtual domains and users
are stored.
to get it working a mysql user has to be created (vexim), and the
passwort has to be changed: /etc/exim4/exim4.conf, /etc/courier/authmysqlrc
and /usr/share/vexim/config/variables.php. the mysql.sql dump file has
to be used to create the initial mysql db.
as for this reason packaging should be not that problem for any
maintainer who has already built a package that uses debconf to interact
with the user (during installation for changing the password).
vexim's license allows redistribution as long as copyright notice is
