Bash Email Admin Script

A script designed to administer an Email server using Workaround.org tutorial.

I wrote this little script as a replacement for a python script who's purpose is/was to administer an email server (add/remove/modify domains/accounts/aliases).. it's GNU Kosher : ]

oh, careful, there is now a new version of the Workaround ISP mail tutorial, the Lenny edition (in case this page gets old), so get the lenny script if you used the latest tutorial, and the plain one for use on the etch edition

I userd the beas_lenny.sh, but it does not support mailadresses with an dot or a dash in it, like firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname-secondname.lastname@example.com

manu

you are correct.

I changed the regex on line 104 to:
if [ "${2}" = "user" ]; then REGEX="^([0-9a-z\.-]{${MINMAIL},${MAXMAIL}})$"; fi

This now allows dots and dashes.

This worked once, and now it just silently fails to create the required directories. Any ideas?

Jon, didn't notice your comment, sorry. I am not sure what you mean as this script shouldn't create directories (been a while since I worked on this).

It's ready for the last (squeeze) tutorial?

Hi r3c4ll,

I haven't tested with the Squeeze tutorial, however as the DB scheme hasn't changed (from what I've seen) this should work just the same.

This means you should try the "lenny" version (beas_lenny.sh). Please try this on a non production platform first.

If you can confirm this works that would be nice.. : ]
