PigeonAdmin is a Web Administration Interface written in
PHP to administer mail servers based on
PigeonDeliver.
PigeonAdmin has many features and advanteges when compared
to similar projects:
- Complete support for skins. All PigeonAdmin output is
xml, while skins are simple and standard xsl files that take
care of transforming the xml in any html you may like.
- PigeonAdmin does not need to write any data on the
phisical disk it is installed on. All configurations are made
effective by just accessing a database. This means that, for
example, in a clustered environment you may have a battery
of web administration interfaces completely separated from
the mailservers themselves.
- Very highly configurable: it allows users to choose
their own configuration for every part of the delivery, including,
for example, if they want their emails to be checked by an antivirus,
if they want to enable a vacation message, which message to sent
while on vacation, which filters to apply to cleanup the email
using the Anomy Sanitizer...
- Enforces a very simple role and privileges mechanism, allowing
administrators to force configuration for all users of a given domain,
to choose which users can access their own configuration or which parts
of the configurations they are allowed to modify...
- Many operations are made easy and well defined. Renaming of
users doesn't loose emails, it is possible to redirect all the emails
of a given domain on another domain, to create a catchall and to enable/disable
IMAP/POP3 access of users...
- Very modular design. The internal API make it a matter of
hours to write a new module to support new features.
- Fully UTF-8 compliant, allowing any character to be used
in any of the interface modules.
- Powerfull yet quite easy to use.
PigeonAdmin is probably one of the most powerful components of the
PigeonAir project, and has
already proved its reliability and ease of use on many installations.
