[JDEV] "smtp transport" -- does that mean

[Mike Mintz]

I don't see the point of B, when there already exists a similar concept over 
HTTP port 80.  And even if port 80 was blocked, but 25 was open, it would be 
more efficient to just connect over 25, use proper SMTP to identify as a 
Jabber client, like with the HELO command, and then just pretend the 
connection is a Jabber connection from that point on to make things simpler.
