One thing I've found in the last few weeks, is that sometimes current
tools are way too heavyweight.
I like SA. I use it constantly. But it's not ideal for very light,
custom scripting.

As a simple analogy, several people asked that some kind of mailing list
management be integrated into Virtual Exim. I was strongly opposed to
this, encouraging the use of Mailman or Majordomo or <somethign already
there which is a good MLM>.
But it soon became evident that all the current MLM's are TOO full
featured, and not needed for the majority of operations, so I've started
building a light weight MLM with very few options. It's what people
want, you can either ignore it or serve the need :-)
