eXtended Account Management System is a PHP-based application suite made for managing electronic mail accounts on multiple domains in a virtual hosting environment.

The XAMS eMail management system primarily consists of a powerful administration panel for managing users, aliases, mailbox quotas, and other mail-related functions.

Here are some key features of "eXtended Account Management System":
Manage any number of domains, mailboxes and aliases
Multiple domains can be grouped as a "site".
If you have, for example, two domains domain1.tld and domain2.tld within site site1
then mails to either of the two email addresses for user user (user@domain1.tld
or user@domain2.tld) will be delivered to one mailbox.
Autoreply (out of office) support
Mail accounts are independent from system accounts
Mailboxes can have quotas, which you can manage by reseller, site or user.
Four different user-levels: Administrators, Resellers, Customers and Users
- each user-level and each user can have individual restrictions
Easy to use, web based GUI (front end)
GUI based BIND (DNS server) configuration
Supports the Exim mail transfer agent
Supports the Courier-IMAP mailbox server, which provides POP and IMAP access
Supports the MailScanner virus scanner
Supports MailScanner and SpamAssassin
Supports any web-based mail user agent that uses POP or IMAP (Squirrelmail preferred)
Supports following SMTP-AUTH modes: PLAIN, LOGIN and CRAM-MD5 with or without TLS
Uses MySQL or PostgreSQL for account storage
Uses CDB for fast domain lookups in Exim
Source package includes PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) module and Squirrelmail plugins
Provides easy to use debian packages (.deb files)

XAMS manages these domains and user accounts in a database, entirely separate from your Unix system environment.

XAMS ties together and integrates with these packages to provide a coherent virtual hosting solution for e-mail:

Exim, a flexible mail transfer agent (MTA) with an intuitive and flexible configuration system
The Courier IMAP/POP server for mailbox access
MySQL, a powerful, free database server, used for storing domain and account information.

XAMS does not currently manage FTP or HTTP servers. The XAMS graphical user interface is written in PHP, runs on top of Apache, and produces XHTML 1.1 compliant pages.
