doesn't require a separate connection on a separate port. Why use 2 protocols when you can use one?
Indeed, why don't we just close all ports except 80 and layer everything atop HTTP? For heavens sake, Marc. This debate about using IMAP/POP for outbound mail already happened more than a decade ago. If you can't be bothered to look through the archives of the IETF lists that discussed creation of these protocols, at least take the word of those of us who were present at the time: It was a poor idea then, it's still a poor idea, and you'd be much better off spending your time pushing something else. And NONE of this is relevent to SpamAssassin any more. Take it somewhere else.
