Well said. I'll add to that. I use a mail server to handle mail and a web server to handle web related services, independently and exclusively of each other -- the two only link when webmail is involved and only as a webmail interface to email when that is required (lack of Thunderbird or another suitable MUA for instance). The SMTP STS standard needs to die before it see any kind of implementation, it is a horrid kludge and the last thing we need with mail is yet another kludge that will never die once in use.
