I’ve just rolled out Virtualmin virtual-server module version 3.94. It will begin appearing for all users over the next few hours.
Changes since 3.93:
Updated the SugarCRM script installer to version 6.5.2, WHMCS to 5.1.2, Django to 1.4.1, phpMyAdmin to 3.5.2.2, ZenPhoto to 1.4.3.1, PHPList to 2.10.19, Drupal to 7.15, RoundCube to 0.8.1, Typo3 to 4.6.12, dotProject to 2.1.6, Piwik to 1.8.3, Z-push to 2.0.2-1437, phpMyFAQ to 2.7.8, and CMS made simple to 1.11.1.
Alias virtual servers that have their own mailboxes and aliases can now be created, rather than always forwarding mail to the destination domain.
When installing Ruby scripts, dependencies like gcc and libfcgi-devel are now installed automatically if possible.
The outgoing IP address for email sent from a domain can now be configured to match the domain’s IP, when using Postfix 2.7 or above.
If the system’s primary IP address has changed, display a warning message and prompt to update all virtual servers on the old IP.
Virtual servers can now be backed up to the Rackspace Cloud Files service, in a similar way to Virtualmin’s S3 backup support.
As well as several minor bug fixes.
The virtualmin-htpasswd package has also been updated to version 2.6, which fixes cosmetic issues.
As always, if you run into any problems, please let us know in the issue tracker.
OK, virtual-server-theme 8.5-2 is in the repo now, which includes support for the new warning_messages function, which is required for virtual-server 3.94.
Alias virtual servers that have their own mailboxes and aliases can now be created, rather than always forwarding mail to the destination domain.
And I’m stumbling upon a missing “Edit Users” function in an alias domain. With the given description of the new feature, I was thinking that it means alias domains can now have “email aliases and email users” (i.e. mailboxes), while it probably just means “email aliases”. Is that correct?
I can see that alias domains still don’t get an own directory under “~/domains”, so naturally it cannot have their own users. But to me, “having their own mailboxes” would imply “having Linux users” to log in as for retrieving those mailboxes, so the feature description might be a bit misleading. To me, a mailbox is something that gets its own login and password and can be retrieved individually through POP3/IMAP.
That said, when I read the new feature description, I was already wondering what it was about, and what the difference between sub-servers and aliases would be, now that aliases can presumably have their own users. would imply

Nothing has changed except the update I got this morning. This is only affecting my status page tho. Everything else seems to work fine.
IS there a theme for virtualmin? I have one for webmin.

Outgoing SMTP IP Address (Version 3.94) | Try it …
The outgoing IP address for email sent from a domain can now be configured to match the domain’s IP, when using Postfix 2.7 or above.
The Try it link goes to a BCC setting not anything related to a IP and searching the template or domain settings doesn’t revel anything.
To get the Edit Users link, you’d need to enable mail for the alias server in the Edit Virtual Server page, in the Enabled Features section. Just check the box beside “Mail for domain” and save it.
You can then create mail users, not jut mail aliases.
I don’t know that I necessarily recommend using this feature. It was added for a couple of reasons. First, cPanel backups sometimes have mailboxes associated with alias domains…meaning that mail would “disappear” on a restore in Virtualmin in that circumstance. The other was a user request to be able to use alias domains with a Drupal multi-site setup. The web aliases could be hacked in the past with Server Templates (and/or proxying), but now there’s first class UI support for it. Drupal multi-site is a single install of Drupal with multiple databases selected by the hostname. Aliases aways worked for the web side of it, but you couldn’t (easily) have mailboxes for those domains.
But, it might have other uses. Since we had a couple of folks asking for it, and I ran into a problem in a cPanel migration of a site I was doing for a non-profit I’ve been helping out, it turned out to be the right time to add it.
