hi,
if you are using mysql and php on your mail server then i have something
to solve your problem. i have a series of php scripts that allow users to
change their forwarding and vacation options, such as turning either
feature on/off, the forwarding address, the vacation message and
subject. however, all of this is managed via mysql. very few of my email
users have shell access, or even shell accounts, so this seemed the
easiest way to get it done.

i haven't written much documentation about my scripts, but i can tar them
up and post them, and provide some help getting them working. you can
check out my exim configure file at:
http://isber.ucsb.edu/~randall/exim-mysql/configure
and my sql table structures at:
http://isber.ucsb.edu/~randall/exim-mysql/tables.sql
the php pages are at:
http://my.isber.ucsb.edu/myaccount.phps
and
http://my.isber.ucsb.edu/functions.phps

hope this helps,
