Thoughts about mail-handling

Today we had some discussion about the topic "How shall we handle mails in SysCP 1.4". We didn't say "that's how we do it", just basic thoughts, which I want to tell you now.

First thing: We want to have a module for managing spam / virus-settings (most likely with amavisd-new as a backend). No idea yet how it should look like, but we want to have one :D

Another thing I was missing in SysCP is the managing of passwords (and other settings) of emailaccounts. Currently there are two possibilities how a password for an account can be changed: By the "accountuser" with the webmailer if it supports this or by the "domainowner" managing this with SysCP. There are cases where both cases are not possible:

• The webmailer doesn't support this (i.e. roundcube)
• The email-account is for another user who should not have access to the SysCP-account

I had the idea, that we should add a level next to the admin / reseller / customer - areas, namely an "email" - area. You login to this area with your email-address and password and in this area you can change the email-account-password, define redirects and (if the spam / virusmodule is enabled) manage your spam-settings.

What do you think about these ideas? Comments are welcome ;)

So long,
Florian
