We need a port that allows dovecot2 SASL by default.  There are a bunch of
turorials on setting up such systems and all of the have to start with "build
everything by hand" which makes us look bad.  I've been somewhat tempted to
adding a slave port mail/postfix-useful with SASL, TLS, and DANE turned on.
A less trollish name might be better though. :)
