4PSA Released Today 4PSA Qmail Manager [April 11, 2005]

April 11, 2005 – 4PSA, a custom solutions provider for web hosting companies announced today the launch of a specialized software for Qmail management. 4PSA Qmail Manager is an advanced solution designed to solve some of the most stressing problems that hosting companies face today.

For today’s web hosting industry, the need to deliver fast, secure, and guaranteed business communication is absolutely required. In order to provide the email transmission, Plesk™ servers use Qmail, which is a reliable, efficient, and secure message transfer agent. Despite of these excellent features, the Qmail queue manipulation is not an easy task for the server administrators. Some command line tools exist, but they are not easy to use and they do not provide advanced management functions. The default Qmail settings, although suitable for small environments do not deliver the scalability required by a hosting business.

In order to address these issues and to reduce administration costs and efforts, 4PSA designed a Plesk™ integrated Qmail management solution. 4PSA Qmail Manager allows server administrators to control various Qmail server options and to manage the queued messages. The Qmail local and remote queues can be searched based on the administrator input options. “Using the search feature, the administrator can monitor the email server activity and find the messages sent or received, but not yet delivered. In order to provide a secure and reliable hosting environment, he can also determine if the server is used as a spam relay and he can better address abuse complaints”, said Florin Mihalache, Software Developer, 4PSA.

Making the email transfer faster and more efficient is a 4PSA Qmail Manager design goal: “The default Qmail configuration is not optimized and it would be difficult to provide a standard optimized configuration that works on all servers. Using 4PSA Qmail Manager the administrator can easily tweak the Qmail settings on his own server, based on traffic, policy, and business profile.” added Mr. Mihalache. Huge Qmail queues and slow deliveries can be intelligently prevented.

The interface settings offer customization capabilities for server administrators and hosting companies and allow them to change the 4PSA software access link and the context help. Hosting companies are able to better customize the 4PSA software based on their client needs and marketing policies by using these integration features.

4PSA Qmail Manager is designed for Plesk™ 7 Reloaded and Plesk™ 7.5 Reloaded for Linux/Unix and it is compatible with all operating systems and platforms supported by Plesk™ 7 Reloaded and Plesk™ 7.5 Reloaded.
