Ah, I had actually been mostly just thinking about inbound SMTP features. It should of course support outbound SMTP as well, but I’m less familiar about what functionality would be useful for that.

By “not standalone” I meant mainly that it won’t duplicate any existing Dovecot functionality, like passdbs/userdbs/mail delivery.
