Well, I think it does. Solutions that are perfect for my needs are probably
just inacceptable for "real" ISPs (because of the lack of performance,
comfort, billing facilities, etc.)

That's right. I will be doing that, in fact, using OpenWebMail (which seems to
run great UNLESS the home directories are on NFS, which won't be the case for
me.)

Well, HUGE messages which users can't (or don't want to) download, and which I
can easily delete using Mutt on the mbox file.

Call me stupid but I still don't quite get you. Maybe you would like to
explain me your point off-list?

You're absolutely right, but as I said (because I'm quite familiar with Exim)
I would like to stick with it unless there are serious (or even compelling)
reasons to move away fromit. And "better performance" isn't a reason for me
since the server will be 99% idle all the time.

Again you're absolutely right, and now that you have reminded me of webmail
this point is no longer an issue for me.

Ok, in that case I might use it if I don't find a better "environment" for my
needs.
