dma doesn't support SMTP submission, we may need to review various port

Good catch.

You misquoted me. Read my email again!

Sorry, I read it again, but it still looks to me as "some ports only work via
SMTP submission, so they will need to be looked at."

I suggested an alternative of instead, "emulating" the SMTP submission
functionality (but maybe in a better way that my suggested hack, though)

After all, it isn't just ports - there could be other third party stuff
that only works via submission too.

It is not that easy just too look at ports. I give you three examples from work:

1. Zabbix (network monitoring), suppports only SMTP, although PHP supports sendmail(8) 2. JavaMail Transport implementation exists only for SMTP, I was not able to find any transport implementation for sendmail(8). Maybe I will write one for fun. 3. Python mail package supports SMTP only, no other package available, at least AFAIK.

Unless ecosystems provide impls for sendmail(8) I see it very hard to live without localhost:25 for many cases.
