There seems to be an ongoing confusion in this thread about what Webmin
and Linuxconf is for.

Webmin makes an entire system manageable for a non-technical user. If
it included all the options for all the packages, it would be
incomprehensible to a non-technical user and therefore useless.

A GUI to setup a complex mail environment is a different project. I
have no doubt that it would be a fine project for someone who's problem
it is aimed at. But my original post was aimed at at a Webmin module or
Linuxconf module that allows someone who to manage their users without
ever needing to find out that SMTP exists let alone what the letters
stand for.
