Hi folks. I'm interested in creating a web interface to manage user

The main problem I see about a program which should work with

userid as the directory owner - one cgi-script per domain,

We have two locally delivered domains: cia.com.au and ezeelynx.com.au
We have a user willows who wants to receive mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and

acceptance of qmail is that all the .qmail-* files a user creates go
in $HOME.
Personally I've "just got used to it", but wonder if anyone has worked
out if there is a good reason for this that would not be addressed by
putting the per-user control files into a subdirectory?
[I'm sure this has been discussed before. If someone is better than I
