So, for S3, I cheat and have my own Riak CS cluster so storage is fairly quick and cheap. I should probably use Riak unless the message is too big and then put the body in CS but I was thinking that straight-up S3 is a good lowest common denominator for storing things.
Basically when I started out learning Go I saw a presentation by bradfitz where he made a POP3 server that used twitter for the backend and thought hey, access S3 instead. He had a smtp library on github so I hacked up something that accepts all mail and stores it in a S3 bucket too. I haven't hacked in things like user auth so it's all very proof of concept/useless at this point.
I'll have to take another look at DSync. The SSH batch job per user scared me off last time. I might be able to use it for HA/Failover.
