SEAM

Simple Email Administration Module for Webmin/Virtualmin. Eventually, this will be a perfectly useful and simple way for administrators to manage virtual mailserver domains, users, passwords, aliases, and autoresponders. For now, it is tightly coupled to the custom Dovecot/Postfix email server from which it was inspired.

Implemented Features

• Add & Delete Mailserver Domains
• Add & Delete Mailserver Domain Users
• Update Passwords for Users
• Add & Delete Aliases (Forwarding Addresses) for Users

Remaining Features, Requirements, & Miscellany

• Edit Auto-Responders for Users
• EditDomain still needs to show autoresponse
• Go back and use better variable names -- what I have now is a mess of different styles and techniques as I learned along the way
• Stop relying on /root/seam.conf -- use Webmin configuration stuff
• Cancel/Proceed/Init paradigm may be simplified with a nested if-statement which can also help with the perl execution failures
• Clean up links for all pages
• Add lang file entries for autoexamples, printed text
• Add users as pre-'@' username for domains
• UpdatePassword could use some TLC

Functional Requirements

• JavaScript enhanced - functionality is only enhanced by JavaScript, not dependent (eg, always a button to submit forms manually)
• Intuitive - no opportunities for user misinterpretation in the absence of JavaScript capabilities.
• Independent of specific virtual mailserver configuration (table names, column names, etc)

Non-Functional Requirements

• Should be configurable to work with custom Postfix/Dovecot virtual mailserver configurations

Bugs that need to be fixed

• Should not be able to delete 0 domains
• Should not be able to delete 0 users
• Deleting 0 users & (Proceed | Cancel) causes perl execution failure in seam-lib.pl at line 329 (uId not being passed along)
• Should not be able to delete 0 aliases -- deleting 0 aliases results in perl execution failure in seam-lib.pl
• Order seems to matter for the forms in EditUser; if Add/List/RemoveAlias comes after update password, then invert/all selection scripts won't work. -- there's probably a way to specify which form belongs to which set of JavaScript functions, if not, then perhaps submit a fixed scripting engine to Webmin (via Sandbox pattern)
• Deleting users does not automatically remove aliases, so neither does deleting domains
