Let me clarify two points:
1) I don't plan on supplying a web-based interface any time soon because
my server is primarily a mail server, and it's on the far end of a 56K
Frame Relay circuit; I don't have the bandwidth for a web server. Also, I
encounter users with mail but no web access.
2) I'd be happy to see there be a web interface, BUT NOT AT THE COST OF
SIMPLIFYING THE MAIL INTERFACE AND IMPROVING THE DOCS. I would especially
be disheartened if this totally-forgeable environment would make it
impossible to do reasonable challenge-based confirmation, in the absence
of certificates and/or PGP.
