It doesn't seem to work in my installation (the script doesn't log any notifications, although notifyd does for example notify zephyr, which works), or maybe I don't understand the concept of notifications. So I'd like to ask a couple of questions:

I have attached a python implementation of a notifyd, which we are using
together with cyrus imapd 2.2.12.

It has to be started as user cyrus (or whatever you are using to run
imapd with) and before you are starting cyrus imapd. 

It will try to remove an existing socket and recreate it, so it needs
enough rights to do it.

To resend the messages (events) it will need
http://code.google.com/p/stomppy/ and a stomp server. We are using
apache activemq for that.

 Felix
