Yes - an actual article on SMTP in 2023 would be interesting. This isn't even an article that pushes a product - it's just an ad with a couple of paragraphs for background.

Who cares if the title is enough to trigger a discussion on the subject, facilitate sharing of opinions and bring some useful insights to some participants at least (which is often the case for the news in the HN top)? As for me I rarely even go by the title links to see the actual articles :-)

That's not true about the nothing of value, It helps keep my flagging finger strong and nimble through lots of use....
