I'm not saying you wouldn't have to code a bunch of extra stuff to be a
mail server. :-) I'm just saying it would be cool if there were a mail
server as easy to configure as the Cherokee web server is.

OK, just throwing this one out there.
I really like the ease of configuration that Cherokee has - it has made
setting up a powerful, fast web server on a Linux box easy.
How about doing the same thing for e-mail as you've done for web? Why
not have a Cherokee equivalent MTA that would allow the quick and easy
setup of something that supports SMTP, POP3, and IMAP? The admin
interface could allow configuration of user accounts, domains, SSL auth,
etc. It would certainly be a lot nicer than spending a month reading
the Exim / Dovecot documentation and then editing a bunch of text files.

A few years I have discussed exactly the same thing. Theoretically you
can do these kind of things using the current infrastructure. But being
a mailserver is a completely different ballpark than being a webserver
performance wise. Hence: a mailserver typically stores e-mail, while a
webserver reads pages from disk.
