Certainly looks interesting. They've made it easy to add new queueing &
scheduling backends, and the configuration syntax looks clean. Filtering
appears pretty limited at the moment though. I'd expect people to spend
quite a bit of time improving that side of things.

Yeah I noticed this.
For filtering the SBLs do most of the work for me, and they've not
caused much grief - but then again I don't have a whole lot of users
doing silly things to attract trouble. I have a basic SA setup too. 

I
have hope that when they add filtering (supposedly in the next 6 months)
that it will support SBLs and SA in a very simple and easy way. With so
many people ditching mail servers due to them being "too hard" I think
simplicity is exactly what's needed right now.

all other mail servers & I find it hard to fathom that many vendors
insist on shipping with send mail as default (although it certainly
keeps the old timers happy)

simple. 

I think Debain still ships Sendmail as default.
