While this sounds like a good idea, it also invades Roaring Penguin's
market for CanIt ( which we are currently using under a 30-day trial ).
I assume that since Mimedefang and Spamassassin are both released as
open source, then there is no legal barrier to you producing a web
interface to configure the 2, but I think it would be a great pitty if
in doing so you 'stole' some of Roaring Penguin's customers.
This issue no doubt makes it very hard for companies to release some of
their work as open source and still attract customers. I'd rather see
the determined few who can handle setting up Mimedefand and Spamassassin
do it the free way, and others who don't have the time or do have the
resources, to pay for the commercial version and support those who
support everyone else. At least that was my line of thinking in
recommending that we trial CanIt ( which by the way management are
pretty impressed with - hopefully they'll approve the purchase ).
Sorry to put a dampener on your idea. It is a great idea - except for
the above.
What do others think?
