I think the issue is that Netmail is supposed to be a cross platform 
solution. If the same software is supposed to run on Windows it is 
somewhat bound to s*** on Unix.
Eg you basically choose to ignore the whole mail system infrastructure 
which is available for Unix, including stuff like SpamAssassin, 
fetchmail, procmail, etc

Si. And for those who consider Cyrus too big we still have Dovecot.

Having yet another mail server just makes _zero_ sense.

In contrary. You'll loose all the standard tools.
