If the template idea is what I think it is, I prefer that approach to 
using client libraries (like javamail or other such) because they will 
have rather well behaved, strict behaviors.  I'd really like to make 
sure we can handle numerous kinds of real-world traffic since RFC vs. 
real world is very different for SMTP.  Also would be great to then have 
good documentation about what and how the standards are supported, so 
other mail vendors can now how to work with James.  I'm sure with some 
analysis of real server logs we could build standard smtp, pop3, imap, 
nntp, etc... traffic scripts.

Also I'd like to eventually get to component-level testing... from the 
very basics like a list of 20 or 100 or however many email addresses to 
make sure our address parsing is handling them correctly.  Also higher 
levels like the file and dbfile and db mail & spool repositories, so we 
can really throttle the heck out of those independent of the rest of the 
James code and make sure they're reliable.

Anyway, great to see progress on the testing front.
