Multihost Mail

[Lucas Peet]

I've gotten a *lot* of mail from people who've followed this howto
asking if I have any utilities to maintain the database.  The short
answer is yes...it's a real chop-job done up in PHP.  Once I got it to
work and do my basic adding domains and users (coupled with a shell
script that has to be run as root to create the directories and set
permissions), I just left it at that.  It's nothing real fancy, it's a
hack job and it's ugly, but it works.  Also, my database is a bit
different than what's shown in the howto, and this is tailored
specifically for my db.  If you want a copy of it, I can send it to you
as a near-finished starting point for your own setup.

For the past year or so I've been meaning to fix it up, make it nice,
and release it to the OS community, but I've just never found the time
to actually do it.

It is possible to setup forwarding (theoretically), but I haven't had
the need for it personally, so I haven't bothered with trying to set it
up.  But there is a field in the DB for forwarding...

- Do you have any utilities (command line, web-cgi, or otherwise) that 
can be used to maintain the database?

- Is it possible to setup forwarding for virtual users given the current

structure of the database?  I think this would be done with the virtuals

table, but I'm not yet familiar enough with postfix to grok the config 
in your HOWTO (I learned sendmail, qmail, and exim, so RedHat of course 
standardizes on postfix <sigh>).

/me wanders off to look into installing RHEL and read up on postfix...
