Because Microsoft has historically favored UUCP over SMTP, and tended to hide UUCP behind the scenes on many of their mail gateway products. Which I guess at is at least better than WP's 3.X gateway, that between two PO's would only transfer X messages per call, and if you had X+1 to transfer, required two calls. Oh, and a call to transfer 1 message lasted the same length as a call to transfer X messages. I've always been puzzled by the PC Industry's insistence on reinventing the wheel rather than borrowing mature unix/mainframe technology.
