about SMTP service extensions

[Alec Yu <al...@msa.hinet.net>]

As we (or some of us) know, SMTP comes with service extensions.
I noticed JAMES not providing any of SMTP service extensions,
and the SMTP handler did not take service extensions in mind.

If JAMES provides a plug-in style for managing SMTP service extensions,
it will be great.

Think about this:
For people who want to provide their own SMTP service extensions,
they may derive a custom service extension class from the generic one,
and then code customized SMTP commands in the service extension
in the derived class.
