They'd need root access, which you don't want them to have anyway.

I'd suggest you really learn majordomo, and really learn the code behind
Cobalt's gui, and then make the changes necessary to the code behind
Cobalt's gui, so it'll do what you want.

Not trivial, but certainly doable.

Do you _need_ the Cobalt warranty?

Either that or do it yourself; it's tedious, but it's not "hard" to
figure it out once you understand majordomo and sendmail.
