qmailAdmin is a free software package that provides a web interface for managing a qmail system with virtual domains. It provides admin for adding/deleting users, Aliases, Forwards, Mailing lists and Autoresponders.
As you can see, for convenience I moved the qmailadmin sources to my github space. Nonetheless, all information about qmailadmin will continue to be posted here, and this page remains the place to seek support if needed.
This qmailadmin puts togheter the original Inter7's 1.2.16 version with the following features (updated to 2023.08.27 old patch version):
- qmailadmin-skin, a patch that I created during covid-19 spare time, provides a new responsive skin to the control panel. It modifies everything under the html dir and many .c files in order to adjust the
htmlembedded into the source files. Added a style sheet in the "images" folder and a couple of png files for theqmaillogo. It will be much easier to modify theqmailadmin's skin from now on. - A patch to call
cracklibin order to check for the password strenght. This should avoid unsafe accounts created by domain administrators such as "test 123456". - A nice patch (thanks to Tony, original author unknown) which gets
qmailadminto have authentication failures logged. This makes possible to ban malicious IPs viafail2ban. It is required to create the log file /var/log/qma-auth.log initially and assign write priviledges toapache. - ezmlm-idx 7 compatibility patch (author unknown), which restores the compatibility with
ezmlm-idx-7(thanks to J.D. Trolinger for the advice). - a fix to the catchall account (thanks to Luca Franceschini).
- another fix to autorespond.c to correct the way the
.qmailfiles are modified qmail-autorespondersupport (thanks Nathanaël Semhoun)

- Original author: Inter7
- Version 2.4.1
- Changelog
- Download from github
- My old patches
vqadmin is a web based control panel that allows system administrators to perform actions which require root access — for example, adding and deleting domains.
As you can see, VqAdmin has a new version with a new skin, all my patches (with ALI's patch included) and a lot of work in polishing the code. I also solved all autotools and gcc compilation warnings and changed a couple of things in order to rebuild the HTML theme (have a look at the changelog for more details). As always, your contributions in the comments are welcome.
PS: the apache side has some modification as well.
Have fun!

Upgrading qmail
June 8, 2024 by Roberto Puzzanghera 516 comments
- Latest stable version 2024.06.08 (github)
- Releases
- Changelog
- Readme
For my convenience I moved the qmail sources to my github space. Nonetheless, all information about qmail and related programs will continue to be posted in this web space, and this pages remain the place to eventually seek support. From now on, instead of releasing a combined patch for qmail, I'll release a package which is the result of the ancient netqmail-1.06 plus the patches and modifications listed below.
Changelog
WARNING: IF YOU ARE UPGRADING qmail AND YOU ARE USING A VERSION BEFORE 2024.01.11, BE AWARE THAT dk-filter HAS BEEN DROPPED, SO YOU HAVE TO RECONFIGURE DKIM AND MODIFY YOUR rc FILE ACCORDINGLY.
- Jun 8, 2024
- conf-channels: default number of channels increased to 4 (was 2). Now qmail offers 2 additional channels with respect to the 2 offered by default (local and remote). More info here
- maxrcpt: error code changed to 452 due to RFC 4.5.3.1 (was 553). If DISABLE_MAXRCPT is defined it skips the check, otherwise outgoing messages from mailing lists would be rejected. (commit) - May 16, 2024
- DKIM: Make the dkimsign binary _not_ derive the "d=" domain value from the Return-Path header (tx mpdude)
- Fixed -Wstringop-overflow on qmail-start.c line 128 (gcc-13.2) (commit)
- Fixed -Wincompatible-pointer-types compilation warnings onsubstdio.h (commit)
- Big Concurrency fix patch removed, as it is incompatible with the above change.
- Create a trigger to decide if your qmail-smtpd instance should respect badmailfrom regex or not. This could be very handling if you decide to have very strict rules for your qmail-smtpd that you don´t want to be applied to qmail-submission. Usage: add export DISABLE_BADMAILFROM=1 to run file service (tx brdelphus) - Feb 12, 2024
- DKIM patch upgraded to v. 1.48
* fixed minor bug using filterargs for local deliveries (commit)
- Fixed several compilation warnings (commit)
- Fixed incompatible redeclaration of library function 'log2' in qmail-send.c qsutil.c as showed by notqmail friends here
- removed FILES, shar target from Makefile - Feb 6, 2024
- DKIM patch upgraded to v. 1.47
* fixed a bug which was preventing filterargs' wildcards to work properly on sender domain - Jan 20, 2024 (diff here)
liberal-lf: bare LF are no longer allowed by default due to smuggling vulnerability CVE-2023-51765. Bare LF can be allowed by defining ALLOW_BARELF in the tcprules or in the run file. - Jan 15, 2024
TLS patch by F. Vermeulen upgraded to version 20231230 (more info at https://inoa.net/qmail-tls/ tx Greg Bell for the patch)
- support to openssl 3.0.11 - Jan 11, 2024
- dkim patch upgraded to version 1.46
* dk-filter.sh has been dropped. If signing at qmail-remote level, before upgrading, you have to review the configuration.
- The variables USE_FROM, USE_SENDER and DKIMDOMAIN have been dropped
- when signing at qmail-remote level qmail-dkim now has to be called directly by spawn-filter in the rc file. man spawn-filter for more info
- In case of bounces the signature will be automatically based on the from: field. This will solve issues of DMARC reject by google in case of sieve/vacation bounces.
- In case of ordinary bounces (mailbox not found, for instance) the bounce domain will be taken from control/bouncehost and, if doesn't exist, from control/me - Dec 9, 2023
- sources moved to github.
