I haven't so far really dealt with webtest (as usually I am the backend
guy who's not that much in charge for visual stuff) - but how to
"abuse" it for mail processing? It sounds interesting nevertheless,
even though the idea of introducing cron / quartz makes me think about
polling again (which is not really what I want/need; introducing
polling on top of SMTP which would per se allow for "event" based
processing feels somewhat strange)...

Anway, thanks very much, best regards.
Kristian
