I think we don't want to consider 3 or 4 just yet - they're not required for
the simple desktop case and make life harder.
In future, connecting to a smarthost and punting mail might be a reasonable
move, but I think we want to think very hard about exactly where we draw the
line between our dmta (desktop mta) and a full-fledged one.
