It's not a good idea.
- by the time your method has started QMTP, all or most of the latency
that QMTP tries to avoid has been introduced by the negotiation.
- your method adds another roundtrip to SMTP conversations with hosts
that don't suport QMTP (this can be solved by only reacting if the
initial SMTP greeting contains the QMTP word, just like ESMTP)
Anyway, MXPS is the way to go until somebody comes up with something
*better*.
