@thor i like dovecots configuration. recently invested some time into builing a config from scratch, and it was rather easy to only have imap and sasl for postfix as features.. postfix is the real madness ;)

regarding opensmtpd, the reason i don't like openbsd stuff is the "better than you" attitude. i don't want to fix my configs on updates, except major versions. if php mail works with every other mail daemon, maybe php is right? that would be blasphemy though ;)
