How To Administer Domain's Email Using Postfix Admin
PostfixAdmin is a web based tool that allows you to create, edit, and delete mailboxes for your domain. You can also create forwards and aliases. Just about everything that you used to be able to do with our old QmailAdmin admin tool can be done with Postfix Admin.

Logging In
Log on the Postfix Admin Administration Page.
On http://www.frognet.net/frogmail.php select the SECURE option listed next to "Manage your virtual domain's email"
You should see the login screen for the Postfix Admin web page. You will be asked for two things. The LOGIN and PASSWORD.
Loging into the admin page seems to be confusing to a lot of people given our recent restructuring of FrogNet. The LOGIN should always be "postmaster@" and the name of your domain minus any http or www prefix. For example, if the address of your domain is http://www.billybob.com, then your login is "postmaster@billybob.com" without the quotes. The login for http://www.my.long.domain.name.net would be "postmaster@my.long.domain.name.net" and so on.
The PASSWORD for FrogNet users who joined FrogNet prior to March 7, 2001 will be the same as your old virtXXXX login. If you do not remember your old virtXXXX login, you will need to call FrogNet technical support so that they can change the password.
After you have entered your master account, domain name and password, click the button called "LOGIN"
The Main Menu Screen
The Main Menu presents you with the following options:
-
OVERVIEW: Lists all of your current aliases and mailboxes. It allow you to edit and delete these accounts from here.
-
ADD ALIAS:Allows you to create new alias for your domain.
-
ADD MAILBOX: Allows you to create a new mailbox for your domain.

-
PASSWORD: Change the password for this postfix admin account.
-
VIEW LOG: View the logs of operations preformed from postfix admin.
-
LOGOUT: Logout from the postfix admin system.
The Quick Link options are fairly self explanatory given information you just read.

Editing the mailbox
The mailbox editing screen is pretty self explanatory.
Typically if there is an issue with updating any of these settings,it is related to the quota amount
you are entering, being larger than the maximum quota allowed on that domain. You
can give us a call here at FrogNet if you need you domains maximum quota expanded.
