Ah, OK. Thank you for clarifying this. Still, Exim4U seems pretty old,
at least, in it's design.

I don't like python at all. Yet, I think we need something a bit more
modern and usable. Managing a mail server is no small task and it
would be good to have some kind of app where you can let domain
managers do some managing of their domain :D

I've thought of writing a cockpit module. They use javascript though
and I truly hate it. I would love to be able to do something in
crystal or ruby, though. I just don't want to start from scratch.

It would be a good thing if people got interested in whichever project
and got behind it. I think it's clear we need a bit more of a
community supporting some of these projects.
