## What it is
PostfixAdmin is an open-source, web-based administration interface for managing domains, mailboxes, and aliases on Postfix-based mail servers. It supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite backends and integrates with IMAP/POP3 servers like Dovecot and Courier.

## Use cases
- manage virtual mail domains and mailboxes for postfix
- administer email aliases through a web interface
- set up vacation autoresponders for mail users
- manage mailbox storage quotas
- let users change their own mail passwords
- store DKIM keys for a mail server

## When to choose
- you run a Postfix mail server with virtual domains and need a GUI for administration
- you want users to self-manage passwords and vacation messages
- you need multi-database support (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) for mail account storage

## When to avoid
- you use a mail server other than Postfix
- you need a full mail server solution rather than an administration layer
- you require a modern JavaScript-based admin UI
