there's one alternative left.  but it isn't implemented, although it
should.  (un)fortunately, it would do away with the entire
email-infrastructure and replace it with another, were the senders were
responsible for storing a message until fetched by the receiver.  read
about how this works at http://cr.yp.to/im2000.html.  there's a mailinglist
mirrored at news://news.gmane.org, but the mirror existed for a few weeks
so far and does not AFAIK, hold messages only a few months ago, when some
people were earnestly discussing it.
