Well, this was sort of what I was getting at: things like antispam and antivirus are plugins that are inherently high-configuration.
You could Apple-ise the process by making a single suite of software that installs as a unit and gives you a system that can receive inbound mail, store in a DB (ie, ditch mbox and maildir), make it available over IMAP, POP and some JSON API. Then all you'd have to do is give it a list of domains and users for those mail domains. That's the 80% solution. But I guarantee people will start campaigning for features which require configuration complexity.
