Server health & mail-stack status

Operational intelligence for self-hosted Modoboa mail servers
MailOps extends Modoboa with host-level monitoring, at-a-glance mailbox and domain analytics, and message-specific diagnostics that help administrators understand why delivery failed and what to fix.
Apogee MailOps is an operations and troubleshooting extension for Modoboa. It brings infrastructure health, mailbox usage and delivery diagnostics into the same administration environment used to manage domains and accounts.
Instead of replacing Modoboa’s native administration features, MailOps builds on them. It exposes operational information that is otherwise spread across the operating system, mail services, account views and logs, and turns it into concise, administrator-focused views.
The result is a faster path from “something is wrong” to “this is the cause and this is what needs to change” — whether the issue is server capacity, a stale mailbox, a migration state or a message rejected by a remote provider.
Apogee MailOps adds server observability, mailbox operations intelligence and advanced email-delivery troubleshooting to Modoboa. Monitor the health of the mail server, understand storage and account activity, and turn failed deliveries into actionable SMTP, SPF, DKIM and DMARC diagnostics.

Core value proposition
- See the health of the underlying mail server without switching to separate system-monitoring tools.
- Understand actual mailbox and domain storage usage at a glance, including message counts and stale accounts.
- Trace failed deliveries beyond a basic sent/received/bounced status.
- Diagnose SPF, DKIM, DMARC and recipient-side delivery problems in the context of the actual message.
- Receive concrete remediation guidance instead of manually correlating DNS records, mail logs and SMTP responses.

Unique MailOps feature set
The following features represent MailOps functionality or operational workflows that are not provided by vanilla Modoboa in the same integrated, administrator-focused form.
Server Health Dashboard
Monitor CPU utilisation, system load, RAM, network throughput and filesystem usage directly from the Modoboa administration environment.
Mail Stack Health
See the current status of critical mail-server components such as Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, Nginx, uWSGI, PostgreSQL, Redis and supporting services.
System Activity Visibility
Surface resource-heavy processes and recent operating-system or SSH logins to provide immediate operational and security context.
Mail Estate Overview
View domains, accounts, actual mail storage, message activity, bounces and migration state in one concise server-level overview.
Enhanced Storage Analytics
See actual used storage by domain and mailbox, together with per-mailbox message counts, without opening individual accounts or interpreting quota percentages.
Stale Mailbox Storage Report
Identify mailboxes that still contain mail but have not been accessed recently, combining mailbox size, mail presence and last-login information in one actionable report.
Enhanced Migration Visibility
Surface completed migration state directly in normal account views and server summaries, instead of relying only on a separate migration workflow.
Advanced Message Delivery Diagnostics
Extend basic message history with delivery-path and next-hop analysis, recipient-side failure context and one-click diagnostic detail for individual transactions.
Authentication & Bounce Root-Cause Analysis
Evaluate SPF, DKIM and DMARC in the context of the actual failed delivery, explain the likely cause, and provide concrete corrective actions that can be rechecked after configuration changes.
// 04
In the admin UI
MailOps lives inside Modoboa — the same admin your team already uses. These views show how server health, mailbox estate and delivery diagnostics surface as concrete operator screens.
// 02
Mail estate & stale mailboxes
Domain and account counts, used space, traffic and migration totals in one panel — with stale mailbox reporting based on size and last login so idle storage is visible.
// 03
Domains with accounts, disk & tags
Each domain row shows account count and disk space used at a glance, plus custom tags for operational context — so estate size and labeling sit in the same table where domains are managed.
// 04
Mailbox storage & migration badges
Account lists enriched with size, message counts and migrated markers — so storage analytics and IMAP migration progress are readable without exporting reports.
// 05
Message history beyond sent / bounce
Searchable delivery trail with status, sender, recipient and subject — the starting point for deeper tracing when a message fails and vanilla status is not enough.
// 06
SPF, DKIM, DMARC & actionable AI
Failed deliveries open into contextual DNS authentication cards and SMTP failure analysis — with remediation guidance tied to the actual message, not a generic checklist.
// 07
Backup restore wizard
Guided restore with stream, period and date selection — the same ops maturity as CLI restore flows, exposed as a Modoboa-native wizard for safer recovery.
// 05
Improvements over vanilla Modoboa
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.
