<div dir="ltr">I have been managing a system based on ispman (well, created and managed), and it was a wonderful tool, full of features, and worked quite well. It was very complex, and requires substantial understanding of directories (LDAP). It was too complex (afterthought), but worked well. I would not recommend it for managing only several virtual mail domains. For larger tasks (hosting management) it could do just fine.<div>

</div>I worked for several years with postfix+dovecot+postfixadmin. IIRC it<br>
was mostly based on this howto:<br>
<a href="http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/space/knowledgebase/linux/mail/postfixadmin+on+debian+sarge" target="_blank">http://bliki.rimuhosting.com/space/knowledgebase/linux/mail/postfixadmin+on+debian+sarge</a><br>
which is pretty dated, but postfixadmin itself (and the underlying<br>
tools, no doubt) is still maintained. It's pretty basic but working.<br>
<br>
You might consider trying one of "virtual hosting" packages out there.<br>
I then did and decided they were either too big or not mature enough<br>
(or both) and went with postfixadmin which did a rather small part of<br>
their common denominator but seemed mature. A partial list of the ones<br>
I then looked at: ispconfig web-cp dtc ispman vhcs gnuhh ravencore.<br>
Googling for most subsets of them will probably find others/reviews/etc.<br>
