- Move GenerateRandomPassword to auth package for reuse - Make password optional in user creation (generates 16-char if empty) - Return generated password in response for user to copy - Add Generate/Copy UI with show/hide toggle |

IMC
A self-sufficient web application to manage an ISPmail (Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd) mail server.
Features
- Domain Management - Add, view, and delete mail domains
- User Management - Create and manage mail users per domain
- Alias Management - Create and manage email aliases per domain
- Mail Queue - View, requeue, and delete queued emails
- Mail Logs - View postfix logs with filtering
- Password Management - Change password for admin users
Tech Stack
- Backend: Go with Gin framework, sqlc for type-safe SQL
- Frontend: SvelteKit
- Database: MariaDB/MySQL (shared with mail server ISPmail schema)
- Auth: JWT-based authentication
Architecture
- Single binary with embedded frontend (no separate web server needed)
- All database tables use
imc_prefix to avoid conflicts with ISPmail schema - Permissions controlled via
imc_users2domainstable - Admin users have access to all domains; non-admin users only to assigned domains

Quick Start
1. Build
make build
2. Create Admin User
./build/imc --reset-admin-password
# This creates an admin user or resets the password
# Output: Username: admin, Password: (randomly generated)
3. Run
./build/imc --bind=0.0.0.0 --port=8080
4. Access
Open http://your-server:8080 and login with the admin credentials.
Configuration
Environment Variables
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
DB_HOST |
Database host | localhost |
DB_PORT |
Database port | 3306 |
DB_USER |
Database user | mailadmin |
DB_PASSWORD |
Database password | (required) |
DB_NAME |
Database name | mailserver |
BIND |
IP to bind to | 0.0.0.0 |
PORT |
Port to listen on | 8080 |
JWT_SECRET |
JWT signing secret (min 32 chars) | (required) |
CLI Flags
./imc --help
-bind string
IP address to bind to (default: 0.0.0.0)
-port string
Port to listen on (default: 8080)
-reset-admin-password
Reset admin password to a random value and exit
Database Tables
The app creates these tables automatically:
imc_users- App admin usersimc_login_attempts- Brute force protectionimc_users2domains- User-domain permissions
Existing ISPmail tables (virtual_domains, virtual_users, virtual_aliases) are used for mail data.
Database Access with sqlc
The app uses sqlc for type-safe database access:
- SQL queries are defined in
backend/internal/db/queries/*.sql - Type-safe Go code is generated with
sqlc generateintobackend/internal/db/sqlc/ - Do not edit files in
sqlc/- they are regenerated from queries
To regenerate after changing queries:
cd backend && sqlc generate
Enable SQL query logging in development:
USE_EMBEDDED=false ./build/imc
Systemd Service
Example service file at /etc/systemd/system/imc.service:
[Unit]
Description=IMC Mail Admin
After=network.target mariadb.service postfix.service
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
Environment=DB_HOST=localhost
Environment=DB_PORT=3306
Environment=DB_USER=mailadmin
Environment=DB_PASSWORD=your_password
Environment=DB_NAME=mailserver
Environment=JWT_SECRET=your_secret
Environment=BIND=0.0.0.0
Environment=PORT=8080
ExecStart=/opt/imc/imc
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Requirements
- Go 1.21+
- Bun (for frontend development)
- sqlc (for database code generation)
- MariaDB/MySQL
- Postfix (with postqueue/postsuper)
- systemd-journald (for log viewing)
Development
Run development server that watches for file changes:
make dev
Build the binary into the build/ directory:
# Build frontend and backend
make build
Build only frontend or backend:
# Run backend only (uses filesystem frontend)
cd backend && go run ./cmd/server
# Run frontend dev server
cd frontend && bun run dev
