No patents here <grin too>. And the answers to your question is quite
easy:
1. There are MUAs that allow user to deliver e-mail messages directly to
the SMTP server of some addressee.
2. This delivery scheme is unusual at the user's end and isn't
appreciated by the ISPs. Remember that user != server :-)
3. Many SMTP servers are using DUL (http://maps.vix.com/dul/) to prevent
direct connections from the non-local dial-up users (if any).
4. We're living in the world of spam. Let the servers do their work
perfectly.
