I received this message off list this afternoon.

It does my heart good to know that end users appreciate the selflessness of 
one's dedication in time and effort; writing free software is clearly its own 
reward!

In various operating systems I've used a bunch of email clients, and all
the ones I've used for any length of time use a specification like
smtp.toast.net

Having a different specification style confuses people who are trying
the program for the first time. It does have the advantage of allowing
experienced users to feel superior to the newbies.
