> text protocol is neglectable in term of CPU usage ..., compare to let's say indexing of emails for search.
|
|
|
|
well indexing is another topic. business email servers may or may not
|
|
index email. of course, there is virus scanning, spam filtering - all
|
|
this consumes resources.
|
|
|
|
all I am saying: current protocols are wasteful from several points of
|
|
view and can be simplified.
|
|
|
|
if anything, simpler protocols would lead to
|
|
- fewer production issues,
|
|
- shorter development time (for email server developers),
|
|
- more email server implementations, (choice is good)
|
|
- better protocol compliance (simpler protocol makes it easier to comply with).
|
|
- more robust mail delivery (less confusion over protocol)
