Markus Wiederkehr commented on JAMES-889:
-----------------------------------------

One use case would be an SMTP proxy that sits between an e-mail client and an 
actual SMTP server.

The proxy could intercept messages as they are sent to the server and scan 
and/or manipulate them. Scanning for viruses would be an example.

> Independent SMTP Product ...?

> Support for the IMAP protocol has been factored out into a separate product 
> with an independent release cycle. There is some support for an effort to do 
> something similar with SMTP, though the idea is a little controversial.

> domain, and generally brainstorm.
