Modoboa <https://modoboa.org>_ is a mail hosting and management platform including a modern and simplified Web User Interface. It provides useful components such as an administration panel and webmail.

Modoboa integrates with well known software such as Postfix <http://postfix.org/>_ or Dovecot <http://dovecot.org/>. A SQL database (MySQL <http://www.mysql.com>, MariaDB <https://mariadb.org/>, PostgreSQL <http://www.postgresql.org/> or SQLite <http://www.sqlite.org>_) is used as a central point of communication between all components.

Modoboa is developed with modularity in mind, expanding it is really easy. Actually, all current features are extensions.

It is written in Python 3 and uses the Django <https://www.djangoproject.com>_ and Vue <https://vuejs.org/>_ frameworks.
