This is kind of missing my point. There's currently MailHost, 
MaildropHost and one or two others that provide useful mailing 
functionality.

However, selecting from available options is hard because you have to 
pass all the possible meta_types to superValues.

It's to avoid this problem that I'd like to find a way to move mailing 
in Zope 2 to something interface-based, not because I want to use 
another implementation...
