I've never seen a mail client telling me what the SMTP has done. Not
only that, but being asynchronous is the rule of the trade in this
field (ever tried ec2-run-instances?).

We have feedback problems in some of our logic, and that can be fixed.
If we made asynchronous commands block for no reason, when they're in
fact done, we'd be going to a lesser model.
