Yeah, I prefer writing in PHP than Perl (Webmin modules have to be written in
Perl.) Perhaps a standalone PHP control panel for Exim would be easier to
write. If there are others interested in working on this, maybe we could get
together to build something. Someone with a thorough knowledge of all the
different configuration options in Exim would be needed on the project, and
that's not me, but I would be willing to write some of the code.
