Possible Feature Request - Groups?

[Tristan Rhodes]

Speaking of front-ends, perhaps this could be implemented into "MailScanner Front End", especially if the developer decides to move it away from the Webmin module (more flexibility).

I think this is a great idea, it will make user management much easier to deal with.

I think this might be better implemented in a front-end system that managed
the groups. It just then has to be able to spit out ruleset files. Then by
implementing your own system you can have it work exactly the way you want
it, not just the way I feel inclined to implement it.
