Anything we do will be DirectAdmin centric; that's the platform we're committed to, and we've written the exim.conf file they use.

Anything we do as changes to exim.conf will be given back to the community. But the interface code for our project will become part of DirectAdmin.

I look forward to keeping in touch on this or other forums, and I hope we can help each other. Though our exact needs may differ, our common interest is very close.

Webmin/Usermin maybe, if the entire wheel need not be re-invented.

- UI screen looks awfully similar to DirectAdmin.

Seems to have a lot to build on, including its own https server and (at least) two levels of privilege separation. Dru Lavigne did an article on a Q&D webmail interface based on a stripped-down version of it.
Works fine with Exim, Dovecot, QMail, etc.

OTOH - it makes assumptions about PostgreSQL (to name just one) that flat do not fit normal ways of running PG.

License is "BSD-like".  F/OSS.

D'ruther code PHP than perl, but dare not permit PHP on my servers, Exim is perl-friendly, and SA needs it anyway.
