What I would love is configuration flexibility, some simplified programming 
language for configuration to allow doing magic things with this new mta and 
not just be limited by fixed configuration boundaries.

exim allows much of such flexibility (including delivery dependant on moon 
phase - can be easily implemented) but its configuration language is horrible.
