IMHO, email is the most disgracefully badly spec'ced "application" in existence: I'm sure the average modern-day scr1pt k1dd13 could do better.
SMTP: Have you ever tried to bounce processing? PITA.
POP: No virtual hosting support.
IMAP: You are in a twisty maze of passages, each slightly different .....
It's no wonder the spammers can ply their trade with such ease.
