Re: Postmaster Password

postmaster@ is an admin account, you can login to iRedAdmin with it. But you cannot login to Webmail with it.

Re: Postmaster Password

mmm but how do i get the email for the post master without aliasing?
I thought the admin functions appear when logging into the postmaster 's accoount in the  roundcube. mmm I must be totally lost folks. sorry to be such a burden. Im just trying to learn.

iRedMail will create file 'iRedMail.tips' after installation. e.g. iRedMail-0.7.2/iRedMail.tips. It will also mail this file to user 'www@your_domain.com'. You can find it in the file.

Re: Postmaster Password

thank you for all your indulgence in me  i appreciate it.   well wouldn't you know it an experiebce IT guy just dove into the software without reading the documentation. well i finally did and got the iredadmin to work. it also saidt log in to it the first user is your root account  edit the alias file if you want another account to receive your root 's mail.
postmaster@domain is not a mail account and thats why you cant log in to it.

thanks everyone
