if you simply run the smtpd on port 25 of the little boxy thing with the
blinking lights and the big shiney apple on it on your
desk (which has for most applications replaced the big dusty mainframe in
the basement to which your (real-time interactive!) terminal on your desk
connected.. and give it a "real" ip, its pretty much real time.
and that's how it was meant to be used, yet made impossible by those dusty
old self-declared 'spam fighters', with their clearly non working methods.
