I think that ultimately what we'll want are flags to enable/disable the 
blackhole and forward features on the modify-user page.

Maybe something for the .qmailadmin-limits file?  No access, admin-only 
or user access to each?  Include vacation in that?

I think we could accomplish it with lots of ##t tags and some more code 
(e.g., only show this section if the user is allowed to enable 
forward).

My only concern is that we make sure .qmail files aren't hosed up due 
to the rendered page not matching the actual file (e.g., if the user 
has forwarding enabled, but can't modify it themselves, what happens if 
they edit their config?

When I get around to releasing the simple change-password interface, it 
should simplify things a bit.
