I’ve just thought of a reason that you cannot simply send outbound email to a 
local MTA and have it deliver it for you, while conforming to all of the 
relevant RFCs: when the mailing list members receive the message, some may want 
to reply, and that would then go back to the same MTA which would then be 
unable to process the mail correctly.

An MTA plugin and/or hand-configuration to integrate Fossil Forums with the MTA 
could solve it, but now you’re adding complexity.  I suspect many haven’t put 
their public Fossil instances behind an HTTPS proxy for the same reason, and we 
should take that as a caution.

There are definite advantages to Fossil Forums being its own MTA.
