     Just a quick note on this--I had this on my TODO list since way long
ago, but it turns out it's a pain to implement, mainly because of needing to
either fork and keep track of another process or handle SMTP connections
using select() in the same process, and having to watch resource consumption
in either case.  I don't know what Andrew Kempe's priorities are, but just
keep in mind that it's not something that can be dashed out on the spur of
the moment.
