    Have a look at it and let me know what you think ... and apologies
to anyone if an idea like this is already out there :)

you have missed what I think is the most important disadvantage:

Apart from unwanted downtime of SMTP servers, certain anti-spam measures
can introduce a delay *on purpose*. SMTP wasn't designed to be fast, it
was designed to be reliable.

Bye,
