you have missed what I think is the most important disadvantage:
delivery of email is anything but instantaneous.
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,
Peter
