It's correct. The postmaster account created during iRedMail installation is a mail user with global admin privileges, it's stored in `vmail.mailbox` table.

Remove `http2` from the `listen ...` directive, then add one line in /usr/local/etc/nginx/nginx.conf, inside `http {}` block:

http2 on;

Re: unable to login iredadmin but i can login to mailbox using postmaster

I solved the problem, using this method to connect in iRedAdmin
- Open iRedMail folder tools, /iRedMail-1.7.4/tools;
- Execute the script to create a new user: bash create_mail_user_SQL.sh 'newuser@domain' 'password';
- Open mysql/mariadb database, select vmail database, past the script result to create the user;
- Give admin permission to new user using:
UPDATE mailbox SET isadmin=1, isglobaladmin=1 WHERE username='newuser@domain.com';
INSERT INTO domain_admins (username, domain) VALUES ('newuser@domain.com', 'ALL');
- Open iRedAdmin Console using new user;
- Change password from postmaster.

Problem solved.
