It's an odd mix of qmail with a replacement front-end in perl
(qpsmtpd) that can do spam/virus scans, maildir format delivery
and dovecot for imap/pop. Performance is pretty good. It also
has hoarde/imp for webmail and one of the management
simplifications is that if you add a 'group', you get a unix
permissions group that can be used for file sharing and an
email group address at the same time.
