New Restate the problem
What are you trying to do?

Postfix and Exim are both manageable by Webmin on Debian.

New Exim is NOT manageable via Webmin
it is monitorable.

Postfix is not capable of defining a rule such that all email sent to a host (for any address) is forwarded to an external email address (say, a yahoo or gmail address) - at least as far as I could see.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

New Did the same.
Gives Exim Monitor. Available are:
  1. Exim logs
  2. Exim Queue
  3. Exim Statistics

And that's IT...

If you have a webmin module that actually allows administration, and can be installed with apt-get or even dpkg, I'd like to know where to get it.

All of this, of course, is provided Exim can even duplicate the virtualusertable functionality.

New What I need:
I need to be able to set up the MTA to handle a hostname so that:

I can forward all emails to the host to an external (or internal) email address, excepting specific emails that I can set to return 'nouser' for. Hosts should be easily addable in multiple domains handled by the MTA.

example:
'anything'@host1.domain.net >>-> some1@yahoo.com, 'anything'@host2.domain.net >>-> me@localhost
where spamsource@host1.domain.net gives a 550 'nouser' response.

'anything' addresses need not exist on localhost.

------------

Ideally the MTA would be adminable through Webmin; but if it's easily handled via text files, I can deal.

Sendmail's virtusertable can do this pretty easily, but I usually admin Sendmail from Webmin, and the Webmin/Sendmail combination seems to be broken on Debian (configurations are forgotton whenever the network card is ifup'ed/ifdown'ed.) As to easily adminning sendmail via text files, well - no. I won't do it.
