Agreed. It works great, can use just about any protocol known and, in
default mode, just delivers the email via smail to your box.

For these last two you could consider procmail as well. It's an
extremely powerful mail handler and you can install it as your default
handler by editing the "local" transport in /etc/smail/transports.
