Modoboa

Modoboa is an open-source mail hosting and management platform that provides a web-based user interface for administering email servers. It integrates with established mail software such as Postfix and Dovecot, utilizing a SQL database like PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, or SQLite as the central communication point between all system components. The software is developed in Python 3 and leverages the Django and Vue frameworks to deliver its interface.

The platform provides a comprehensive suite of tools for both server administrators and end users. The administration panel allows for the centralized management of the mail server, while the integrated webmail provides a functional interface for sending and receiving messages. Additional user features include a built-in calendar, an address book, and the ability to configure per-user Sieve filters and autoreply messages for automated email handling.

To maintain server integrity and deliverability, Modoboa includes reputation protection tools such as DNSBL checks and DMARC reports, alongside an Amavis frontend. Administrators can monitor the health and volume of their mail traffic through integrated graphical statistics. The software is built with a modular architecture, meaning that most of its current features are implemented as extensions, making it straightforward to expand the system's capabilities.

Installation is typically performed using an official installer provided by the project. Modoboa is designed for individuals and organizations that require a self-hosted email solution with a modern management interface. It serves as a complete solution for those who wish to maintain full control over their mail hosting infrastructure while avoiding the complexity of manual command-line configuration for every administrative task.
