   The SMTP slave is under heavy development right now, but you should be
able to change it quite easily.  I guess if you could send me a note when
you're going to do so and I'll make sure I have my latest code checked in so
we don't conflict, then everything will be fine.  All the framework is in
place and it's just fill-in-the-blank now anyways.
