No.  Use some group as a master, click a "Copy" button to create a new group 
that
has all the attributes and give it a different name.  Wahlah!  New group already
configured.

This admin is a Windows kind of guy.  The fewer interfaces he has to deal with 
the
less confused he'll be.
Adding a Linux user is working in Webmin.  I'm glad your's is close to working 
too.
 I'm planning on implimenting LDAP but neither phpGroupWare nor I am ready for 
that yet.

Dave said,"This is not currently possible. The best way to deal with it would be
to a seperate "phpgw domain" for each mail domain."
Managing it this way would be ok if you're talking tens of domains but it could 
get
a little intense if you're talking hundreds.  This is just a little ISP, just a 
few
hundred customers.  Maybe a couple of dozen domains.  This will work for him as 
it
is now.
I know this is for another time.  I'm just trying to put a bug in your ear for 
now.
