Well, whatever interface we end up using the need I see is as follows:

  1) use existing zope3 mail interface (or create new one like
IMailHost)
  2) make sure global utility exists for this interface
  3) make persistent version of utility that can be registered locally
and stores it's settings internally
  4) introduce MailHost BBB class for CMF that proxies for the new local
utility and spews deprecation warnings

We've been toying with this plan for Plone but no one has managed to get
time to do it.
