I've received the message below, which I think raises an issue for this
mailing list. Maybe someone should set up a wiki page where people can
add their "value added" things? I suspect that finding any one
individual to maintain such a thing would not be easy.

Subject: exim "world"
Dear Mr. Hazel,
In a current project for a customer we were given the task to wrap a decent SMTP
daemon in a somewhat foolproof and eye-appealing web frontend. During a 20
minute websearch we had to realize that information regarding code that has been
built "around" exim is rather challenging to find.
From memory, I know there was/is more than one "project" for integrating exim
with SQL back- and PHP frontends. I also remember that Ollie Cook used to write
some kind of real time monitor for exim - probably there are many more who spent
time and effort to make a good software even better from a users or admins point
of view by making contributions to the "exim ecosystem".
My question now is: couldn't something similar to rrd-world be set up on the
exim website?
http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/rrdworld/index.html
I mean, as our world is becoming more and more "networked" - which is by large
shares the result of academic influence - it would seem consequent for exim to
demonstrate it's openness and flexibility to be set up together with other
software.
This is just my personal view, but I felt like exim is - from that specific
point of view - somewhat "mis-represented" at least on the official website and
wanted to share this thoughts.
:-)
Kind regards,
vt
