We don't use the upstream Postfix package but have noticed that sites
serving IMAP use Dovecot more often than other impads by a large margin.

Agreed and should note that mail/postfix' unnecessary build-time
dependency on perl can be just as problematic.  Most of the time we
simply delete any references to perl from the Makefile, otherwise it's a
real pain to wait through a perl build as many/most systems don't have
it installed.
