I have a whole bunch of servers in the cloud, and I really wanted each to have their own outgoing SMTP servers, rather than rely on anything external. In that way, if my remote SMTP server is down, it's not effecting every server.

1) if you let PHP or Python do the smtp part, you have to do all the work (queueing, error handling) that an MTA would handle. 2) at the end you contradict what you say in the beginning
