As part of my new $JOB (www.messagesystems.com), I've rewritten and
combined bits of Net::SMTP, Net::SMTP_auth, and Net::SMTP::TLS,
into a new class that I'm calling Net::SMTP::ESMTP. I have a full
test suite for it, but it currently relies on an instance of
qpsmtpd running at some known IP address with some known
configuration with some specific plugins running.
Cool! Pretty funny that qpsmtpd makes a good test tool for an SMTP
client. :-)

My question is this: do you think it is sufficient to include
sample qpsmtpd configuration files and instructions for setting up
an instance on localhost for testing? And if the testing framework
isn't running, I am going to have to skip virtually all tests
(apart from use_ok).
If we made Qpsmtpd installable via CPAN then it could just see if
Qpsmtpd is available and if so then start a server instance on a high
port. The Cache::Memcached tests for example does that (sorta).
Gearman::Client too.
