[Gllug] Web interface to mail forwarding

I have a sendmail box that, among other things, handles mail for a
domain with no local users. This is part of a forwarding service we
provide, and all the email addresses in this domain are simply set up in
the virtusertable to forward to another (external) email address.

I'd like to be able to give the users the ability to change the
forwarding destination of these addresses, via a web interface. Short of
the obvious security nightmare involved in allowing the web server to
write to the virtusertable, how do other people cope with this sort of
requirement. Is there a sensible way to have sendmail populate the
virtusertable from a MySQL database or something similar?

TIA,

Mike.
