RE: Approaches to handling mail lists GUI

[Patrick Shoaf <ps...@midmon.com>]

I have setup Webmin & Usermin to control setting and user settings.  With 
this pair, Webmin allows sysadmin to setup default values for his/her 
system, then Usermin allows user to setup their own controls.  Usermin also 
has many other user modules, including MySQL, Postgresql, ssh access, 
telnet access, and many more.  Using Webmin, you can setup which module 
individuals are allowed access to.  The user/global configuration includes 
Allowed/Denied Address configurations, Spam Classifications, Message 
Modification options, and some other misc options.  These options are saved 
in the user's home directory.  Usermin also allows manual editing of the 
user's .procmailrc file.  Webmin & Usermin do not allow editing of the rules.
