Hi, while i still stick to my opinion that it currently would be better to not offer a "somewhat" stable release and concentrate on illumos integration, i always think people who like to do something for good reason, should just do it. So if there are people willing to offer a release and support it, there is nothing wrong in let them do it as long as it does not cause to much problems for those who work on illumos-integration, what i don't see here.

I would have thought something like zimbra would be a > pony, not a mainstay like postfix. It is a pony since it is something many people want but is just not arround here and never had on osol/oi. Integrating new packages is not the approach here, since it is meant to be a temporary solution for osol users. I'm building my own postfix packages for solaris (10 and osol) for 5 years now and similar will be true for all possible oi(-temporary)-stable users that have postfix running. However, it is still true, that if some want to build and maintain postfix for oi, noone should one keep them from doing it. Instead of nagging that postfix is not available, you could offer to provide and maintain it. It is not even very difficult package, i can offer you a specfile if you wish to. BTW: I think people whos decision about an os are depending on the binary package availability of easy to install third party software, should think about their criterias.
