We need a port that allows dovecot2 SASL by default.  There are a bunch of
turorials on setting up such systems and all of the have to start with "bui=
ld
everything by hand" which makes us look bad.  I've been somewhat tempted to
adding a slave port mail/postfix-useful with SASL, TLS, and DANE turned on.
A less trollish name might be better though. :)
