No, please not that.

If you want to go for that sort of organization then going for a
complete parser would seem better - going basically bind 8/9 like

main {

}

transports {
    smtp {
        # smtp defs
    }
}

I quite like the idea of bracketing sections - makes it possible to use
syntax sensitive editors and do fast checks on things. However the ini
format does not support that at all.
