Courier postfix Virtual Email System , or CpVES for short , is a web application for the administration of mail servers . The software is based on PHP and MySQL .

Group role concept

The CpVES web interface knows four different groups: normal user (level 1), administrator of a domain (level 2), superadmin for creating new domains (level 3) and superadmin manager for creating new superadmins.
