Why would anyone want to do that? What we want to know is what messages have *failed* to be delivered, that's all, and all systems can do that. > Not interoperable with SMTP based systems (this is actually a big plus > because SMTP systems are inherently unsuited to large scale messaging) Ah, that must be why next to all network based messaging on this planet happens via SMTP. You are the tiniest of dwarfs compared to messaging giants like GMail - which of course use SMTP. Because it *does* scale. Even my own rather humble servers can handle several hundreds of thousands of messages every hour of every day - by SMTP.
