I'm envisioning something more general-purpose, eventually (optionally) hidden behind a slick user interface. MTA selection can be handled by doing 'pkg_control -disable sendmail; pkg_control -enable qmail'. Of course, for novices, this operation would be hidden behind the slick UI that hasn't been written yet. I've already written the framework for this. See http://www.pobox.com/~bmk/pkg_control.tar.gz if you're interested in what's been done so far. I'd like to hear your input.
