S.M.T.P.  is extremely  well-established,  and  has  always  been  a  reasonably
pleasant experience for me.  Which part of the protocol makes you think of it as
"nasty"?

That doesn't make any sense.  Setting up e-mail is a fair challenge, but nothing
can replace it in terms of interoperability and convenience. Perhaps the younger
generation  (of  whom  I  am  unfortunately  a  part)  would  almost-unanimously
disagree, but your proposed solution doesn't really  provide  greater  ease  for
you, or the people e-mailing you!
