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

Postfix has a configuration API - postconf -e
It's not a full API, in that it doesn't prevent you from doing meaningless or stupid things, and you can't alter transports with it, but for the 600-odd configuration settings, it works fine.

Any "UI" that wants to stand a chance at managing postfix properly should use postconf.


bet to disagree. postconf doesn't manage "unknown" variables. given that my main.cf is full of these...


I knew somebody would argue that :)
Still, postconf is a "safe" configuration API - much safer than something like webmin.
