Hello,
  I've got a question to Postfix administrators. At this time, I'm
considering a theme of Diploma thesis. One of them is 'Remote controll of
Postfix systems via electronic mail communication'. I'd like to know if
this would be usable in practice and if it's got a sence to spare a time
on this job and also if it's not yet solved (via mailling lists servers?
etc.).
  My idea is:
  - when configured postfix (main.cf, master.cf) admins must connect to
server via ssh, if one has got tens of servers and need change some
parameter, one must log on to all of them and do the same job
  - there is a module to WEBMIN system, but I suppose that admins of MTA
servers don't want (throught security reasons) to install perl and open
other port in firewall
  How it should do a job:
  - admins will send an email from web interface to specific email address
  - on MTA will be special relaying to local pipe where script or
C-program will process controlling email
  - emails will be crypted for security reasons
  - response of succesful changes will be stored back to mysql server via
mysql-cli and showed in web interface or sended by email to admin

What you think about it? May you replay me?
Thanks for all contributions
