- A domain's name in any list opens a card on hover: whether it's taking
mail, how many people it has, which of its key records (mail routing,
SPF, DKIM, DMARC) are live in public DNS, and whether DNS, signing keys
and certificates are automatic.
- A person's shows their name, storage against their quota, role, groups
and when they joined. The server keeps no last sign-in on the account,
so the card doesn't claim one.
- Cards load on open and are cached for a minute.
- Option tooltips end with the option's default, and an option set away
from its default gets a small "changed" mark.
- Cards and charts link to the page they're about: pending messages to the
queue, bans to blocked IPs, report warnings to the reports, and so on,
shown only to viewers who may open that page.
- A one-line status under the greeting: what needs a look (failed tasks,
messages retrying, recipients given up on) or, when nothing does, what's
there. Each phrase is a link.
- Counts from the server's own objects stand in for live metrics it can't
report, and a live number with no source reads as unknown, not zero.
- Who uses the space: a treemap of people sized by storage, colored by how
near their quota they are, each tile opening the account.
- Where mail is waiting: queued recipients by destination, split into
waiting, retrying and given up, each row opening the filtered queue.
- The weekly rhythm: messages by hour and weekday, shown once metric
history exists.
- Dashboard tabs are titled by their label.
A job that has a wizard now asks "Guide me / I'll do it myself" each time
it starts; nothing is remembered. The shared wizard shell gives every guide
a stepper, a side panel on what each step does and how to undo it, and the
way forward or back.
Automatic DNS, from a domain's DNS section:
- finds where the domain's DNS is hosted from its SOA and NS records, and
offers that host when the server can drive it;
- for the major hosts, steps to create the narrowest credential, and the
field named as the steps name it;
- records grouped by what they do, TLSA off unless the zone is signed;
- saves the provider and switches the domain over, removing the provider
again if the switch fails;
- watches the publishing task and public DNS, ticking each record green,
and boils a host's refusal down to its distinct messages;
- for hosts it can't drive, or domains not in DNS yet, every record laid
out for copying, with the same live checks.
It greets the account by its full name where it has one, and otherwise by
the name it signs in with. The line beneath says who is signed in. The account
is looked up by its local part and matched on the whole address, so a
same-named account on another domain can't answer. The username is kept from
the JMAP session and cleared on sign-out.
- The INBUXA palette on warm surfaces, softer cards, buttons and inputs, and
self-hosted Inter and Space Grotesk.
- Each section's icon sits on a colored tile, colored by what the section is
about.
- The sidebar gets a guide line for sub-pages and a labeled Management /
Settings / Account switch, and folds to a rail of tiles (remembered).
- Every page has a header with its section's tile.
- Fields and pages with no label of their own are spelled out in words
(defaultCertificateId becomes Default certificate ID).
- The dashboard greets you, and its stat cards wear colored tiles.
- Unavailable live numbers are a calm note, not an error.
- The cat appears in empty lists and while loading.
- Chart colors work again: they were hex values wrapped in hsl().
