to a good degree by programming to the lowest common denominator. Maybe 
it's time to re-think that, so we can take advantage of some features, 
while still keeping a 'generic' module for the other MTAs. that'd allow 
us to 'build in' the qmail VERP stuff, or allowing postfix to let 
mailman maintain the alias file, while still supporting sendmail, which 
does neither.

after all, isn't this just another API with a set of 'plug-ins'?
