Ah, I had actually been mostly just thinking about inbound SMTP features.
Hmmm.... well, I'd hate to see this turn into a huge time-sink for you. The fact is, postfix's maturity combined with its new postscreen capabilities will make it a very, very hard sell to postfix shops - especially the larger ones that rely heavily on postfix's ability to filter out the crap with as few resources as possible - and postscreen just increased that already powerful capability by at least one or two orders of magnitude.
I'm just having a hard time seeing it. I think it would be better to focus more on outbound capabilities/features myself, so, by default, dovecot would handle all mail destined for a 'local' domain (one handled by the same dovecot server), with the ability to selectively choose (ie 'transports') which external domains dove_smtp handles directly (initially other dovecot servers), then passes all other 'external' mail to the outbound proxy.
But, that is just me... it sounds like you have given this a bit of thought, and it also sounds like there is a good reason for that - maybe a paying customer? ;)
