There's merit to this. > In most applications I think the MTA is just being a pipe anyway, accept > email and stick it into dbmail. Far from it. MTA's do a *lot* of work for us. There may be a time when DBMail has matured to be ready to take over MTA functions, but I don't think we're anywhere near there yet. The popular MTA's out these days have 5-10-20 years of development behind them. DBMail is itself only a little more than 5 years old, which is basically what it takes to write, rewrite, maintain and stabilize a heavy duty software application such as our database mail store. Adding an MTA component would entail a similar level of commitment.
