I didn't know if there was a reason to switch away from other servers, such 
as Courier or Cyrus. I wanted an IMAP server that would work with sendmail 
and procmail, as I've already got a milter setup with SpamAssassin, ClamAV, 
and MIMEDefang, so Dovecot was the logical migration path when Fedora 
dropped UW.
