I think it applies to MTAs in general

I used to hang out on the exim developers list, and the answer to that is
that MTA developers believe that GUIs are evil.  The prevailing opinion was
that if you make it easy to configure mail, idiots will be configuring
mail.  My stock response was that idiots _are_ configuring mail, so we'd
damn well better do something to make it easier for them to do it without
screwing up.  I didn't change many opinions :-)

Meanwhile, there's webmin...
 
imo, for what he wants, masqmail is really simple.
