All that the "direct" model does for you is tell you that the message was
accepted for relay by the remote MTA. You still need to be able to handle
delivery failures that occur later. Don't forget that the message can
bounce after being accepted, and that the MTA to accept the mail is not
necessarily the one deliverying it. Even if you used a custom JavaMail
delivery mailet, you'd still have to handle VERP.
There are people who have done similar applications with James. I don't
know if they'll be willing to provide any insights.
