How does it work in Plesk? Are there two seperate login areas, one for webmail, and another for the “e-mail control panel”? I’d hate to have even more places for people to have to log in to.
I’ll keep my plesk/sw-soft comments to myself…
Anywho, what he’s referring to is at the point where you log in to plesk for domains/resellers/whatever, you can also log in with any email address on the system, then set various options and settings for that email address.
However, I think that this kind of stuff is covered pretty well through the horde interface…
As far as frontpage goes, I think that we could get something hammered out without too much difficulty. With the hacking I’ve done in the last few days I think i’ve gleened a pretty good grasp of how the system works. If we abandon the actual frontpage “admin” site that would normally be used to set up the domains and itegrate those into iworx, then it’s just a matter of copying the files to where they need to go (easy enough), and putting the right things into the frontpage configuration files. Heck, there’s not even any apache configuration to actually change! (It’s all done in .htaccess files)
The trick would be making sure that the web-admin for the individual sites still works, because that would be necessary to consider any frontpage support “full”. I say this because from the frontpage software many menu items will take you to the frontpage web admin for the domain. Unless, of course, we hijack that and built it right in to interworx… that would probably be a much more in depth project though.
I’m pretty busy with work, but I would certainly like to work with the IWorx staff on getting FrontPage support integrated, mostly so I can buy a license for another company I work with (frontpage support is a requirement for that application) - it’ll have probably 250 domains on it too!
What do I need to do to work with the iworx staff on this? Should we start another thread for development, or is there a development mailing list you could add me to for the development process?
I also have anothe feature to request:
SMTP-SSL (Port 465) Support. It’s getting more and more common for ISP’s to block port 25 to all mail servers but their own as an anti-spam mesure. I support this - it has done a lot to reduce the volume of spam on the internet. However some users still need to send directly out using their hosted server. SMTP-SSL is the only option for this that’s supported within email software (Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, and Eudora all have native support for doing this). I’ve set it up with qmail-smtpd once a while back on a dev server and it wasn’t /too/ difficult.
