I mean I could reinstall [debian] again, but I really get annoyed doing it for the 3rd time.. I do not see why iredmail has to be *so* "complex."
When a fresh server OS (e.g. Debian in your case), we can know what files a deb package will install on file system, we know the file location, parameters in config files and their format (syntax, space, etc), then a shell script can update it to what we need.
With pre-installed components, we don't know what you changed, maybe you moved some parameters to another file, you renamed a main config file, etc.
That's why we can get a fully working mail server with iRedMail in minutes. You can say it's complex, but i have to say, this is the simplest complexity.
