== Crazy idea section == One thing I never had a chance to discuss with any of the Zaqar devs that I would find interesting is an email-only backend for Zaqar. Basically make Zaqar an HTTP-to-email gateway. There are quite a few hyper-scale options for SMTP and IMAP, and they're inherently multi-tenant, so I'd find it interesting to see if the full Zaqar API could be mapped onto that. This would probably be more comfortable to scale for some deployers than Redis or MongoDB, and might have the nice side-effect that a deployer could expose IMAP IDLE for efficient end-user subscription,
Can you guarantee delivery end-to-end (and still get the scaling benefits)? Because AIUI SMTP is only best effort, and that makes this idea a non-starter IMHO.
