How about an XML standard that defined ways that a mail server could

it needs a nice SIMPLE GUI, etc.
XML is pretty bandwidth intensive though, as compared to some smaller
protocol. If this were to become a widely accepted standard, an
architecture might emerge where you could have 100 "dumb" mail servers,
and one or two "policy servers" for lack of a better name. In that
case, you'd want to have the most lightweight protocol for communicating
between them. Maybe XML will work... hmm.
It could be a 'dot' file on a unix machine which is the mail server.
I don't know what the equivilent is in windows, ( but unfortuately,
someday I'm sure I'm going to have to learn it :-)
