Dmahk, her eyes opened!

Yes that's exactly what I want.  I want to use and configure Post.office like I would a Macintosh mail server,  quite possibly such a front end could be used to admin the other OS versions of this software, but I don't care.  I have a Macintosh OS mailserver and I want to admin it like a Mac user should.
