sounds very interesting - i planned to write a similiar open source product 
(after the very flexible web-cyradm was very outdated) - but with exim / 
pam_mysql (should be similiar) and reserved some spare time over christmas 
and january for it...

After planning with django years ago, my current plan was to use flask or 
similiar more light, because installation of django (compared to the old LAMP 
based web-cyradm) is more difficult for many users / impossible in some typical 
mass hosting environments and easier to maintain in regards of security over 
longer timespan (django typically needs security updates several times a year 
from what i experienced with it in other projects). And with flask it is (at 
least by my intention so far...) more easy to use it on i.e. embedded 
hardware or "small email servers" with a DevOps like software / "firmware" 
management.

I very like the very intelligent (because it allows very flexible email configs 
as MTA integrations) database design of web_cyradm. While i've not found a 
way to easily "reuse" that existing database structure (or "rebuilt" it with 
the django DB subsystem) in flask is has to be done by hand - so "no prob" at 
this edge for me.

But will definitely check it - and (if interested) contribute (where it may 
makes sense). it may possibly still is a nice base or working solution for 
what i'm looking for (saving me time to write something complete byself) and 
if flask or so is still an option, the similiar concept should allow to 
"reuse" at least the more fiddely python code from a django project.

is there any public "main" repo of the project?



many thanks for your time and posting,



niels.
