IMO, so long as services cling to text files for configuration rather
than configuration via an API such tools are *impossible*

is there really a need for a UI to manage postfix?
I don't think so.  How often do you really change Postfix config?  If
you can manage alaises, mail routes, etc... in whatever database Postfix
uses [LDAP?] I don't see much need for such an application to touch the
Postfix config.  Properly configured you can control just about
everything useful via maps and look-ups.  LDAP od DB interfaces are a
dime-a-dozen.

That's what I had in mind: most config changes I do in postfix are not postfix related. I consider users, mailboxes, .. management to be outside of the MTA. and for the rest (postfix parameters), I rarely change them. and when I play with postfix, I don't see how I would allow that via a remote web UI without being concerned about security. so I don't see myself writing a suid cgi to run an action that requires prvilges.
