OpenSMTPD is much, much simpler than Postfix. I can't stand Postfix's fucking 1000 line multi-file configuration. Nginx is simple, so, yeah – no need for a rep

  i don't know what you are doing there, but Postfix has two crucial files, main.cf and master.cf. your /etc/postfix may have multiple files, and the default main.cf certainly has all the things (commented out), but you absolutely do not need to keep it. if nginx feels simple it's only because it doesn't copy a good chunk of its documentation into your /etc.

  > Nginx is simple, so, yeah – no need for a replacement there. Nginx is approximately twice the size of the old Apache 1.3 based httpd OpenBSD had in base. Nginx is an order of magnitude larger than the new httpd. Perhaps nginx is simple from a user's perspective. But from a code/complexity viewpoint (think of all that must be read and verified to make sure it is correct, clean, simple and secure?) it is not quite so simple.
