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? ;)
