Agreed. It is possible to comprehend postfix's documentation given plenty of time to concemntrate upon it. Unfortunately most administrators cannot give that degree of attention to every piece of software. The fact that you were willing to devote the time to that project does, I believe, evidence the need for a more administrator friendly configuration tool.

It needs a lot of careful and independent testing to bring such intiatives into common use. Thanks david
