[Mailman-Developers] Why just SMTP?

Hiyas,

I think there are a lot of mtu programs which works good in delivery/queue
handling.  OK, you wanted to write a 200% compatible program, but I think
this isn't as good as it seems:

1| QMail doesn't put Date: and Message-ID: fields to the mail when you use
   smtp.
2| You can use 'mailx' anyway.
3| Delivery-locking is bogus.

Ok, I think this is a good idea to handle smtp directly, but *please let us
select* which method we prefer.

I think you can use TryDelivery() (with a jumper table) instead of
TrySMTPDelivery().
