There have been several proposals about moving away from thestore-and-forward model. Some of these proposals assume that there isdirect connectivity between the sending and receiving systems. That'snot the case. A message can go through several hops before beingdelivered to the recipient. It's not uncommon to see that nowadayswhen mail filtering has to be performed. Although there isn't a lotof source routing being done, people still use routing tricks eventhough it's not transparent to the sender.

The question I have is what problem is trying to be solved even if one
were inclined to move away from store and forward. It's not very clear
that there is one.
