For those of you that missed my initial posting, sendmail, postfix, smail,
exim and qmail must die. These are elegant, beautiful, efficient, secure
and powerful emailers, to be sure. But not one has addressed the issue of
sensible user interface. jsms attempts to rethink the process of
configuring mail from first principles, assuming if the program becomes
popular, that will be motivation to add in all those elegance, security and
efficiency features to the codebase, after the interface is good and settled
down.
The interface is done, the design is done. Please download the tarfile,
type "make install" as root (if you are paranoid, look at the makefile, it
only copies some text files around) then type "man jsms".
read the manpage, then edit the config files and create a setting for your
own box. I would like to see the results you come up with so I can improve
the clarity of my documentation so people "get" it with minimal fuss and
confusion.

Yes, theres no working code, or code at all. Thats because I am a user
interface designer. The code will follow, but before I touch it the
design (no code design, config file design) must be sound. Unless I've made
some seriously wrong assumptions, the config files you come up with now will
work exactly when I do provide a working binary.
As always, this is a GPL project. If you have any questions, please ask. I
want to get this interface evaluated... Stress it out! Think of funky mail
situations, and see if my interface isn't powerful enough to simply handle
it with a minimum of fuss and bother.
For those of you who can recieve attachments, find jsms.tgz already attached
to this mail, otherwise you hotmail folks can download it.
