What I meant was that the MUA expects an MTA to queue.  On a desktop, we
assume there's a server, and we have to queue if we can't reach it.
Outlook has an outgoing queue, for instance.  On a server, there's queueing
software already there (sendmail), and the MUA expects it will just throw a
message at the MTA, and the MTA will queue.

Since my MTA doesn't have hashcash functionality, and my MUA doesn't have
queue functionality, I've made this intermediary that does both.  The MUA
considers it an MTA, and the MTA considers it a MUA.  Of course, if I had a
faster computer, there'd be much less incentive to do all this.  8-)
