I am planning to add the following packages to buildroot in addition to 
exim:

- fetchmail
- dovecot
- dovecot-pigeonhole

Currently the following mail-related packages are included in buildroot, 
both in "Networking applications", and could be moved to the new section:
- libesmtp
- msmtp

This makes 6 packages in total. I do not know how many packages are needed 
to justify a new section, therefore I am asking before sending patches ;)

Regards, Bernd
