Purelymail

Part of the PurelyManage series. Listing Users The Users page shows all email accounts across all your domains. The list is served from a local PostgreSQL cache rather than a live PurelyMail API call on every page load. The reason is speed and rate limits. PurelyMail’s listUser endpoint returns all users in one call, but calling it on every page load when you have 50+ users and the page auto-refreshes every 60 seconds is wasteful. The cache (purelymail_users table) is populated on first boot and kept in sync by a background cron that runs a full refresh daily at 2am. When a user is created or deleted through the panel, the cache is updated immediately so the UI reflects the change without waiting for the cron. ...

Part of the PurelyManage series. Adding a Domain Adding a domain in PurelyManage is a single form: enter the domain name and submit. The backend calls the PurelyMail addDomain API and the domain appears in your list. await pmPost('/api/v0/addDomain', { domainName }) The domain will show as unhealthy immediately because no DNS records are set yet. That is expected. The next steps are ownership verification and DNS setup. Ownership Verification PurelyMail requires you to prove you control the domain before it will route email for it. Verification is done by adding a TXT record to your DNS with a value PurelyMail provides. ...

Part of the PurelyManage series. PurelyMail has an API. It is not publicly documented. There are no official client libraries. There is no changelog. What exists is a community-written reference at news.purelymail.com/api/index.html that covers the basic endpoints but leaves field names, response shapes, and edge cases as exercises for the reader. Building PurelyManage meant figuring out every endpoint through trial, error, and reading raw JSON responses carefully. Some of it was quick. Some of it was not. ...

What PurelyManage is an open-source, self-hosted web UI for PurelyMail. PurelyMail is a paid email hosting service. It handles email well, but its account dashboard is minimal. If you are managing more than a handful of users or domains, you are either writing curl commands against their API or clicking through a basic web interface one action at a time. PurelyManage wraps that API and adds what is missing: a proper admin panel. ...
