Technically, a service like that already does exist - if you're not sure about a web address, you can always try using a search engine.
From what i've seen, the two main issues with it are it breaking existing systems, and the fact that its being forced on everyone. Now, if it were a service, in the sense of you being able to opt to use it, that would be a different case.
One possibility is to use the filtering ability in mod_filter, so you put all your friends in one group, then make a filter which autoresponds a message to them letting them know that you are working at this time.
The SMTP-t program simply acts like a smtp server. It handles the incoming mail, then maps the recipient email address to a jabber jid. The message is then forwarded onto the jabber account. The Theoretic-SMTP module goes one step further and extracts any attachment and places it in a storage area, then passes on the details of how to collect the attachment. This means that the basic text is sent quickly, and any attachments can be collected when wanted - a boon for dialup users.
I have been reading the step-by-step guide and am wondering why X is necessary? Surely just using the vesa framebuffer would allow compatability with far more user configurations.
