[Postfixadmin-devel] 2.3 beta.... and the future?

[David G. <da...@co...>]

Hi,

I've been busy merging patches recently, and I think we're at the
point of releasing 2.3beta ... and hopefully then 2.3. I'll probably
release 2.3beta (.debs and .tar.gz) tomorrow (Friday) assuming I get
time around my son's 1st birthday party etc. Then I'll probably wait a
week, and then release 2.3.


I'm fairly confident that all the MySQL upgrade issues have been fixed
(all due to character sets)... which was perhaps the biggest thing
holding back the next release. 


Future wise ... I'm personally interested in merging in Amavis stuff
(see postvisadmin.sf.net ... which shares similarities at the DB
level, but not much at the code level; I've emailed the author and
he appears happy for a merge to take place).

Wiza (IRC) appears to be busy converting the code base to use the Zend 
framework and Doctrine. Hopefully this will make the project more
buzzword compliant, and also secure - and I can always hope - others
will join in it's development. Additionally I can hope that it'll lead
to development of an XMLRPC interface for e.g. vacations/password
changing/forwarding etc as done by the squirrelmail and roundcube
plugins.

Anyway, my initial thoughts are, if I get to merge Amavis stuff - this
will be after 2.3 is released. Hopefully it'll warrant a 3.0 release. 

Depending on timing, Wiza's codebase refactoring will probably form
e.g. 4.0. I don't know if it'll be possible to do an incremental merge
- which I'd prefer (who hands out SVN access?)

I've no idea how long the Amavis or ZF/Doctrine stuff will take... I
suspect the ZF/Doctrine change (if it finishes) will be very invasive
and probably cause plenty of new bugs. Amavis support should be
relatively easy and give us a nice new feature.

Feedback/Bug Reports/Criticism/Patches/Comments welcome...

David.

It would be great if the code would support amavisd-new too.

I wrote a very simple a PHP code to handle some features of amavisd-new+MySQL at
sysadmin level, since mailzu seems rather abandoned, but at user interface level
my code is very... basic, since is written for SysAdmins and not for users.


Ciao,
luigi

Hi,

I /think/ I use amavis-new, and refer to it as amavis ;) Are there
major differences? presumably amavis is dead, and everyone uses
amavis-new?

If you want to contribute the code, that would earn you plenty of
brownie points.

From looking on the web, there is an mailzu-ng project, which may take
off where mailzu has failed.

thanks
David

My two cents: http://luigi.rosa.name/gestionemailserver.tgz

The code is GNU GPL. I admit that this isn't the best PHP code I can write.

Keep in mind thay this is a sort of "mail server manager" that I wrote to handle
some basic operations (ldap directory, amavisd-new, policyd).

Unpack in a web directory, edit include/config.php and it SHOULD work :)

Unfortunately, include/config.php is the only file with english comments, anyway
feel free to ask.

Some remarks about the content:

amavis_destinatari.php  recipients table manager
amavis_mittenti.php  senders table manager
amavis_policy.php  policy editor, requires a 16:9 screen :) :) :)
amavis_quarantena.php   quarantine manager
amavis_ultimora.php   mail handled during the last hour
amavis_visualizzamail.php   displays a single mail message
amavis_wblist.php  whitelist/blacklist manager
cron-notifica.php  sends a message with the quarantined messages during the last
day (script to be CRONed daily)
ldap_*.php  poor man's (or blonde woman) ldap editor  :)
policyd_*.php  policyd (1.x) manager

I did not see much enthusiasm in the ng- project, but I may be wrong.



Ciao,
