The operative word is hopefully. There can be several
reasons: My ISP went bankrupt, and another provider is supposed to
take over operations. While the connectivity has been impeccable, the
SMTP server has been down for 2 1/2 weeks now.
Another reason may be that in some areas of the world the
SMTP service costs additional money, and thus not a viable
alternative.
Narrow minded approaches about the ``one true way'' to set up
one's SMTP infrastructure rapidly get boring.
