I actually have a solution that works using MGI (pageplanetsoftware.com) and
SIMS. It allows you to give your clients the ability to add, edit, forward,
delete, autoreply, etc.. all on their own. It can also be run on a remote
server (separate from SIMS). You create the "Admin" of the accounts,
designate how many accounts they get and mailbox size, then let them set
their own accounts up. It even adds the appropriate info into the router.
I have been using it with my clients for the past month or so. If the
interest is there, I may release it for sale.
