SME isn't exactly an 'other' distribution, and ClearOS wouldn't be if
CentOS6 had had a timely release. They are the same code underneath,
just already configured to work as installed and with a few additions.

If CentOS shipped a distribution that was a decent mail server as
installed then I'd certainly recommend that. But it's a toolbox with
lots of assembly required. The dozen or so people who know how to
build their own mail server from scratch probably won't ask my advice.

But those things aren't running the same kernel and packages as
CentOS, so it would make less sense to mention them here.

The SIG approach will probably work - eventually. When they have
stuff that comes up doing some job as installed.
