Modoboa already provides strong mail administration capabilities, including domains and accounts, quotas, mail traffic statistics, audit logs, a message log, DNS authentication checks and IMAP migration. MailOps is designed to complement these features rather than duplicate them.
The difference is operational context and presentation: MailOps combines information from the server, mailbox store, message path and DNS configuration into views that answer common administrator questions directly.
Area
Vanilla Modoboa
MailOps improvement
Infrastructure monitoring
No integrated host-level CPU, RAM, load, network, disk, service or process dashboard.
Adds an integrated Server Health view with operating-system and mail-stack status.
Mail traffic
Native traffic statistics and graphs.
Keeps native statistics, while surfacing concise sent/received/bounced activity alongside server and mailbox health in the MailOps overview.
Audit trail
Native searchable audit trail.
Not positioned as a unique MailOps feature; MailOps focuses on operational data and diagnostics around it.
Message history
Native log shows core transaction information such as queue ID, date, status, sender and recipient.
Adds message-level detail, route/next-hop context, failure analysis and actionable diagnostics.
SPF / DKIM / DMARC
Native domain-level DNS checks confirm whether expected authentication records are present or valid at domain level.
Evaluates authentication in the context of the actual delivery attempt, including the sending IP, relevant DKIM record and failure outcome.
Mailbox quota / usage
Native quota controls and quota-usage presentation focus on configured limits and percentage usage.
Shows actual mailbox size and message count directly in account listings for faster capacity analysis.
Domain usage
Domain administration provides domain/account configuration, but operational usage is not presented as a compact estate-wide storage view.
Shows account count and actual used mail storage directly alongside every domain.
Inactive accounts
Last-login data and inactive-account administration exist, but require separate views or workflows.
Provides a dedicated stale-mailbox report focused on accounts that still hold mail and consume storage, with size and last-login date together.
IMAP migration
Native migration functionality and a dedicated migration workflow are available.
Adds persistent, everyday migration-state visibility directly in account listings and the server overview.
Bounce troubleshooting
A failed transaction can be identified in the message log, but root-cause investigation remains an administrator task.
Correlates message route, SMTP failure context and authentication checks, then presents likely cause and recommended corrective actions.
