I know a provider what is actually using this. I guess only the big
providers will have different servers for inbound and outbound email,

Hmm, interesting idea!
Maybe you have some lines on how to configure this?
But, I am affraid many hosting providers will not have a MX record on
the hosting server, so you don't get your "forgotten password" from the CMS.
