There are cases when it's OK - e.g., if you have external incoming SMTP
closed (e.g., on router) and want to allow users to use your SMTP server
as outgoing mail host. It's rather convenient to have own outgoing SMTP
server - the user can always sent mail without problem, whatever happens
outside. If it returns afterwards, it's always less complaints - users
tend to read mail error messages with more attention than on-screen error
messages ;)
