This has been discussed at length several times in the past. MTAs are
deceptively complicated systems, and there are many good ones already
available. It may be worthwhile however, to package up an existing MTA
such as Sendmail or Postfix so that it installs pre-configured to work
with dbmail.

I've had dbmail installed and running great since 1.2.x. I'm now using
2.0.7 on Debian Sarge with exim4 as the MTA.
My question is simple. DBmail's install for pop3 and imap are so easy
and the configuration to make local domains + mailboxes all virtual
(mysql driven) is so complicated are there plans to integrate a MTA in
the dbmail software (a native SMTP server)?
If not, why not?
I know dbmail is a pop3/imap server, but adding in the SMTP server makes
it a complete mail server and takes the headaches out of new installs...
(I'm not looking for th "RTFM" or "that's outside the scope of this
project" type answer... just really WHY not? is it because of a lack of
developers?)
