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

[Darrell Berry]

The problem with that is if you have a circuit-level firewall/proxy
which actually checks that the traffic is actually following the mail
protocols (hence the question) -- many firewalls do the same thing on
port 80 -- i.e. if its not a valid http transaction, it doesn't get
thru...

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.
