I ran my own mail server using OpenSMTPD and Dovecot for a little over a year, and found OpenSMTPD to be very easy to set up and configure. I needed something light, that I could easily tweak to fit my needs. I mostly got things working reading the man files, and asking for help in the IRC channel (thanks Gilles). I also looked into Postfix, and I'm sure it's great, but the amount of configuration options were a bit daunting.
I think the project deserves more contributors and more eyes to look at the code. A fantastic foundation has been laid, but we can't expect Gilles to be able to do it all alone. This is a diamond in the making!
