Sheesh! More unix elitism.

_Nobody_ should have to go to any more trouble than is absolutely necessary
to configure an MTA. You're darn right I'd want my local power company to
create a simple GUI based interface - not so that you could eliminate the
need for 'nuclear engineers' (MY local power company has never used
engineers to operate the plants anyway - I know, because my father used to
train both the engineers and the operators), but so that the engineers don't
make stupid mistakes.
