Zander's Exim | Unix Setup

This is a modification of the Unix Web GUI you can play with a demo version that does not control an Exim server; it does however control the files you can see here.

The idea behind these files was brought about by necessity. I have had many contracts where the resident staff or the staff that will have to administer the systems I install often have no previous experience of anything other than point and click. Every location has been genuinely shocked that the computers do not fall over weekly / monthly as they used to when using other operating systems; however there is always the difficulty of how do they make the daily changes.

While many people would not think twice about logging in using ssh or putty there is a tremendous learning curve to using vi or emacs before one even considers explaining how an email is formed and why they should know what headers are (for things like spamassassin etc.)

I needed an interface that could be reached from a variety of operating systems and be easily configurable to allow for the differences between sites. I know that I could use a database or webmin; however many sites need something even more simple to provide just aliases configuration or smtp passwords etc.

Some pages in the ZEUS config demo seem not to work. That is because I do not want to have my exim log displayed to the world, or to have people restarting exim over and over ;-)

If you are looking for something a little more complex have a look at vexim.
