  3.  Store email messages as entries in an SQLite database where
      some external process and read and forward the emails.
  4.  Send emails to an SMTP Relay.
  5.  Send emails directly to the recipients via SMTP.

As of 2018-08-08, method (5) is not yet supported, but there are plans
to add support soon.

extracts email messages as they are added, and hands them off to 
"procmail" to be sent on to the final recipient.  The self-hosting
Fossil repository uses this technique rather than method (1) because
