I guess I should qualify that (early morning for me... ;-) )

All *internet* email, regardless of how it starts out, ends up as an SMTP message.

As mentioned there are certain proprietary mail systems such as exchange and 
group-wise, etc. which would never be SMTP based, but as soon as an email recipient 
outside of the system is specified, the message becomes SMTP... I hope that's more 
clear.
