"SMTP has outlived its usefulness" (was: Forwarding services)

A majority of people are struggling to survive in America? I visit even the most rural corners there, frequently, since I'm Canadian and in general, people are wealthier and have better services than we do here. So I guess Canada is even worse? Compared to what? Surely not Europe, because just a look at youth unemployment would make that statement rather ironic. I'm not trying to start an argument, it's just that I'm wondering if you have been to America before because your comment is puzzling. The US has tons of problems, but that's just not one of them
