I expect that's what the current mlmmj web interface does. All I was
referring to was the use of the mail system rather than the commandline
to avoid having to deal with permissions etc..

As far as I can tell, the only real benefit to the Ezmlm way rather than
the current Mlmmj way is that it leverages the support of existing Ezmlm
plugins for CMSes, as the OP mentioned.
