On the flip side, we will never tells users what to do with themselves if
they don't want to set up their email systems in exactly one way we think
is best (if we even had or wanted such a one true way!).

We'll pick something that makes sense. It might not be your favorite, it
might not be the hottest new hash, but it'll be something we can live
with.

Well there need to be hooks for spam filtering. Generally this is just
means setting up protocol level connections between SMTP and LMTP speaking
filters, but where other hooks make sense we will consider them.

I like the idea of being a news server, but I've looked into mailing list
management, and that's a nightmare!

It already is, you just aren't using an IMAP backend for your blog. This
would be almost trivial to set up and would probably work very well. Be
careful what you wish for:
