thanks to all for the suggestions - it looks like there is no perfect 
solution at the moment...

(anything that requires X or hand editing of config files will end up

but a little more digging has revealed an add-on for ipcop that does 
pretty much what I want:

I'm not so keen on add-ons for security systems (see qmail thread) but I 
don't see a better option.
