Whenever you want combos, it's generally better to roll your own, unless
the packages you want are in some way intrinsically intertwined (like say
mysql & xmysqladmin).

If these are all you want, Courier is the only one not currently ready:

  % fink list mysql courier imap postfix nessus

If you want all of them, most are only in unstable right now, so you'd
need to add "unstable/main" to the Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conf, then:

  % fink install mysql postfix nessus

and it'll find & build all of them (plus dependencies) for you.

As noted, there is no schedule per se -- at least on a horizon anywhere
longer than a couple weeks or a month -- it's "ready when it's ready." :)
