Mitel (previously e-smith) is, and has always been, happy to host any
HOWTOs or patches or contributed packages. That hasn't and won't change.
Moreover, with V5.0 the manager includes an interface which allows
collections of add-on packages to be installed and configured directly
from the manager. That way you will be able to "customise without losing
the benefits of the mail project".
[We are unlikely to replace MySQL with PostgreSQL, but are quite likely to
offer it as an additional choice. MySQL was provided to store user
preferences for webmail - an application for which it remains an ideal
choice. There are certainly circumstances where PostgreSQL is a more
appropriate choice, and we have no problem at all with anyone choosing
PostgreSQL as their DB of choice. We'd be delighted to have that as a
contrib RPM!]
