Gentlewomen and -men,

Not to discourage anyone's efforts, but there exists no such thing as a
"simple mail system". All kinds of issues always arise, and people end
up going back to what's there already, since it's a huge undertaking
getting a mailsystem that is 100% trustworthy going. And a mailsystem
have to be completely trustworthy. Especially in a BSD :-)
