It is probably best defined in terms of what it does not support: -- It does not (yet?) support TLS connections. -- It does not allow outbound connections. +- It does not relay messages between remote addresses. - It does not spawn threads to allow simultaneous inbound connections. - It does not respond with honest errors on failed deliveries. -Apart from the lack of TLS, I consider these features. There's no -(obvious) way for LambdaMail to become a source of spam, the lack -of multithreaded operation is a built-in rate limiter (not to mention -its side effect of making all delivery operations "atomic"), and -its penchant for just responding "250 OK" to almost everything means -that it doesn't leak information about users on the system. +I consider these features.
