Well, while you are thinking (and that is a good thing - think twice, speak
once sort of thing) how about adding postfix to your "feature" list. All my
other servers run postfix and I really miss the features and spam filtering
capabilities I get with it. Pretty much all the things Cobalt and BQ like
the access tables, aliases and virtusertable will fit right in with postfix -
you just get loads of other things...
