Web front-ends for maildrop?



I came up with a workaround that solved the problem.

Instead of globally forwarding all a user's mail, I added
a rule that forwards any message that is NOT addressed
to "no-such-user-hcDgGtZH8xNBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org", and to continue processing
afterward. It has the same effect as what I needed.
