IIRC, last time I checked years ago, there were some GUI based frontends
to perform the usual operations with Cyrus and Postfix (and also webmin
has to provide a couple of modules to manage these services) but I still
prefer to do it manually -using the command line- because I find it to be
more secure and less prone to errors or missconfigurations. Of course,
this cannot be suitable for a thousand users configuration but still a
valid option for managing a bunch of accounts.
