The only wrong thing about this picture is the SMTP Service before "Outgoing".As weird as it is, the delivery of messages to a remote server is done by a Mailet called RemoteDelivery and it's not handled by the SMTP Service.As far as I know, a lot of people are actually forking this Mailet because they want specific behaviors for delivery so I think this design makes sense. > -- Matthieu Baechler
