Well it's been a lot a fiddling under the hood, but it's running. However not the way it should yet I do believe. In case others are coming here looking to go through this... here's what I found out for my situation:
- had to install mysql header capability that wasn't native with leopard install
- had to install PEAR (not part of the default install)... that was fun, no really...
- and then just a bunch of the usual of fiddling with moving directories around and permissions and finally added include_paths to php.ini file.
So I finally got the ecm2admin to run and I've created accounts and virtual domains etc....
however...
running through the test page... I don't get the answers that you've suggested I should get but they do indicate it's running, and postfix seems to still be getting the mail.
Also I was curious there is no mention of OS X's Server Admin and setting up users and virtual domains there... should they all be deleted now?
Thanks.
I feel I'm getting close now ;-)

Oh and yes... I am eagerly awaiting George's output for intel native installs, but first things first :-)

Oh and I'm sorry, my main question out of all that is...
Is there a clean way to migrate from my postfix system or is it a crude just delete postfix and let exim take over?

You don't need to remove postfix. Just make it stop. Somewhere in a folder called "LaunchDaemons" there is a start up file "org.postfix.master.plist" that can be moved away or just compress the file and it wont work.
If you're running server version, than just make sure that everything is stopped via Server Admin. You do not need to delete old postfix users etc.

Another question...
I've noticed in my ecm2admin that when setting up the domains it has a field for path to the mail directory. I would like to be able to set this for different folders (hierarchies) for different domains but it doesn't seem to let me change this.
Is this editable and how? I've tried with different browsers (safari, Opera, firefox) same result.
oh sorry... just after typing this if found the siteadd.php notes... look twice before writing once :-)
thanks.

ok next question... and I'd like to add thank you George for all the support, this is fabulous and wouldn't even be this far without the help.
I believe on my leopard server it's all installed and I can set it up.
Virtual domains are made and mailboxes set (with alternate mailbox paths ;-)
postfix has been shutdown (actually all mail services through the server admin gui have been stopped)
however...
when running through the tests I notice that the courier stuff is not running (can't telnet into ports)
if I manually start them (terminal) then I get this message:
Authentication FAILED: Operation not permitted
would this be a permissions issue or certificate issue?
also on Leopard server, the /etc/hostconfig file seems to be relatively useless and has little affect on anything. The commented header in the top also indicates that. Any suggestions where to put the startup instructions?

maybe this is another clue as well. It does not seem to be getting proper address resolution yet all dns and recursive dns are working for other services.
sh-3.2# telnet localhost 25
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused
Trying ::1...
telnet: connect to address ::1: Can't assign requested address
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

oh boy... more questions...
I can't seem to get the permissions correct on the mailbox folders. I get this error:
Apr 1 10:51:07 iconindustries imapd[258]: Connection, ip=[::ffff:72.38.26.107]
Apr 1 10:51:07 iconindustries imapd[258]: gdlawson@lawsonpark.ca: chdir(/Volumes/Web/mail/LawsonPark/lawsonpark.ca/g dlawson@lawsonpark.ca) failed!!
Apr 1 10:51:07 iconindustries imapd[258]: error: No such file or directory
Apr 1 10:51:07 iconindustries imapd[258]: LOGIN FAILED, method=CRAM-MD5, ip=[::ffff:72.38.26.107]
Apr 1 10:51:07 iconindustries imapd[258]: authentication error: No such file or directory
I have the chown root:mail... but doesn't seem to allow writing even when in admin creating accounts?
thoughts?

different folders (hierarchies) for different domains but it doesn't seem to let me change this.
Each domain will have it's own folder. Moving "mail" folder would require additional steps. So let's not jump into doing that.

If you install emc2Admin before the rest of the packages and start creating user accounts you have a problem. Exim supposed auto-deliver an initial mail that would create a folder for the user in it's domain's folder. If that's the case, you get the above error message. Until you have one piece of mail for each user, you cannot login either.
