Re: [webmin-l] IMAP/LDAP Modules?

[Alan D. <We...@Om...>]

I have used Jamie's new Dovecot IMAP/POP3 Server module, and it fits the
bill quite nicely.  Incidentally, Dovecot may be a relatively new
player, but it is quickly gaining popularity as one of the fastest, most
secure, and easiest servers to set up and maintain.  It is also the
IMAP/POP3 server of choice by default for all Fedora and Red Hat Linux
distributions, including CentOS.  For more information, see:

http://www.Dovecot.org/

As for those who still prefer Cyrus and/or Courier, there are a couple
of third-party modules already available:

*Cyrus IMAPd -- *Version: 0.7 (Last Updated September 22 2005)
http://www.tecchio.net/webmin/cyrus/

Imapadmin -- IMAP Administration Module for Webmin using the perl
IMAP::Admin module.
http://www.nwe.de/develop/

Regarding LDAP, there is an excellent free web-based LDAP browser and
management tool called phpLDAPadmin.  I highly recommend it.  With
something like this, I would argue there is little need for an OpenLDAP
administration module in Webmin, although it might be nice just to have
a basic one to manage the config file and then create a link to
phpLDAPadmin for all of the directory management.  For more information,
see:

http://phpLDAPadmin.sourceforge.net/

Enjoy!
