Exactly.  If you want reliable communication, use a phone :)

SMTP is fucked - the protocol relies on trust and things being done
correctly - of which humans are terrible at both, thats why we have
spammers.  It was intented during a time where the only people using
the Internet were universities and scientists.

Sending and recieving a message and knowing it will get to it's
destination without failure is an essential part of the Internet.

I wonder what will replace SMTP.
