A few years I have discussed exactly the same thing. Theoretically you
can do these kind of things using the current infrastructure. But being
a mailserver is a completely different ballpark than being a webserver
performance wise. Hence: a mailserver typically stores e-mail, while a
webserver reads pages from disk.

I'm not saying you wouldn't have to code a bunch of extra stuff to be a
mail server. :-) I'm just saying it would be cool if there were a mail
server as easy to configure as the Cherokee web server is.

+1. There's enough work on Cherokee web server itself... Dev team has
limited resources... Focus please! :-)
