Hello Mercurians,
after waiting too long I started my long desired web-interface for Mercury Mail. What started as a small privat project became a little bigger as I realized when working on it, why not making it available to other Mercury Mail users.

After creating, testing and testing and more testing it was finally finished and is ready to use, if you desire.
I tried to incorporate as much "daily to use" positions as possible and hope it will help others to maintain Mercury a little easier.

What can you expect ? Here we go:

 Mail Server System
    Check Server Module Status, online or off
    Change various Template Files
    Have the Mail Server Lookup Commands presented
    Read and Edit Mercurys Configuration File as needed
    Start, Restart and Stop the Server as needed to apply certain Changes. For some changes a Restart is automatically executed

User Management 
    List, Create and Delete Local User
    Change User Passwords
    Create/Delete Alias
    Create/Delete Synonyms

SMTP Server
    Update the SMTP Authentication File
    Update the Transaction Filter
    Update the Compliance Whitelist
    Update the Kill File
    Create & maintain Connection Control rules
    Create & maintain RBLs    

IMAP Server
    Update the IMAP Login Alias File
    Create & maintain Connection Control rules

POP3 Server
    Update the POP3 Login Alias File
    Create & maintain Connection Control rules

Content Control
    Update Mercurys Spambust File
    Update a Custom Content Control File
    Update the Content Control Blacklist File
    Update the Content Control Whitelist File

SpamHalter Daemon
    Update the Sender Whitelist
    Update the Local Receiver Exclude List

Mercury Logs
    View the different Server Module Logs

System Requirements
A licensed Mercury Mail Server, as Mercury has to run as service, and a Web Server, both on the same machine. The Web Server must handle php, Server Side Includes (SSI) and if Mail Server Logs
are desired, Directory Listings have to be activated in the virtual host configuration for the logs directory.
The project is developed with Apache as Web Server.
Any other Web Server should work as well, maybe some changes to the SSI commands have to be adjusted.
Check the README in the archive for more detailed install instructions.
Questions, Comments or better ideas are welcome.

Enjoy!

And a few images as well. Those are missing the IMAP and POP3 menu items as they came later. But you will get an idea, hopefully.

Hello Mercurians,

I found a small inconvenience in the configuration file for you to update your Mercury installation path. You will find a new variable instead of updating each file location.
The archive has now the new config-sample.php

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Mercurians,

A new package as an optional addition to the Mercury Web Interface is ready for you. You like colourful statistical charts ?

The chart will show you the daily processed emails, day by day.
There is also the email-total up to today and at the end of the month the monthly total. These will be shown as numbers.

You just have to copy the contents of the archive to your vhost directory where you have install the web interface, change 2 file paths and create 3 Task scheduler jobs.
Detailed instructions are in the archive.
As usual, comments, suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy!

Nice, but missing some .PNG files (e.g. /images/on.png)

And the SMTP tab doesn't seem to work.

Hello,
