I'm sure you have this covered but thought I would throw it into the mix. We are currently having lots of problems with blacklisting and spam filters blocking our email servers, one way we are investigating to avoid this is to outsource the email sending to trusted 3rd party services. We don't send unsolicited email (believe it or not), but being a social site, we send a fair amount of opt in emails, and for some reason this seems to be having an impact on our registration confirmation emails getting blocked which is a real problem for us. Something like this mail backend system seems an ideal solution to allow us to try and test alternatives. Just thought I would raise this as another reason why a pluggable backend would be a good idea, it would certainly help in situations like ours.
