Don't believe everything you read. :-)

My original design made QMTP-only mail exchangers easier but made
QMTP+SMTP mail exchangers harder. This was a bad tradeoff.

Clients should interpret a QMTP priority as ``try QMTP, then try SMTP.''
Then a typical SMTP host that adds QMTP support can keep its single MX
record but change the priority.
