Hello, I have feature request: let local mailer in Xmail support Windows Mail Pickup Service format, in addition to its own.
Why? It seems that built-in SMTP server in Windows is going to be deprecated. In Windows Server 2008 it must be separately installed, configured etc. Microsoft was considering dropping it altogether, but they decided to keep it - yet. So no future seems to be in it. However, putting text file in defined format to mail folder is the way how lots of application works. .NET has built-in feature and configuration for it. Location of such folder can be configured (ie. to point to Xmails folder), but format of message not. Of course we can use SMTP, but it has lots of negative implications and does not scale well. The Mail Pickup Service format is simple. It's standard RFC2822, but it has two headers added on top: x-sender (which is envelope sender) and x-receiver (which is envelope recipient and may be present more than once). I think that presence of this feature will not complicate Xmail and will help lots of developers and server admins, who may continue to use current applications without rewriting them. If you'll be in a good mood, consider adding separate configurable 'watch' folder to scan for local messages (to allow to point it to C:\inetpub\MailRoot\pickup, which is default location), but it's not really necessary - the folder name can usually be changed (in good applications).
