such are the perils of cross-posting...
demon.ip.support (where this thread also appears), is the main platform
independant support newsgroup for the United Kingdom ISP Demon Internet.
All of their 60K+ dialup users have their mail delivered by SMTP.
This is done using MX records pointing at store and forward gateways
which then deliver the mail when the login system detects their arrival
online....
Of course, without such a system, SMTP would not be the mail delivery
system of choice.
