SMTP is just a protocol for doing that in a reliable way (gracefully handling errors etc.). Re-inventing SMTP would probably be counterproductive. :-) But you are right that if FreedomBoxes can communicate directly, they could be configured to send each other mail directly as well, thus bypassing some of the ISP limitations. -- Bjarni R.
