You could try zimbra for all-in-one-email-solution instead of Citadel or Horde+, that would solve most of the problems as it integrates all the bits you need into a one working opensource bundle. You can always write something to manage your firewall (like zimlet to zimbra) and that greatly depends on your expectations. I don't change firewall rules very often on my zimbra box but then again, i am the ascii lover ;). kind regards, s.
