Yes, smtpd snuck up on me too. I tried Exim (and have it running in 
various places) but I never figured out how to get it to play nice with 
spamassassin and procmail - whereas sendmail already did. I just 
remember switching from imapd/qpopper to dovecot ~15 years ago and 
wondering why the hell I hadn't done it earlier.
