    Sacha,
     
    Nothing to stop you using ebMS v2.0 SMTP support then here - for generic use.
     
    In your model the little guys will all be v2.0 clients and the SMTP server takes the place of the ebMS v3 server.
     
    Now - if you have a big partner with an ebMS v3 server - then no need for those messy gmail accounts!
     
    In fact the ideal would be to have the ebMS client "call home" on say a 2 or 3 times daily schedule - same way as you can check email too.
     
    I think a more realistic model is one where people are involved in a marketplace with partners - and they are therefore going to have available a central ebMS server. 
     
    However - for those that don't then the central SMTP server provides that equivalent work - and the big partner can interchange those emails from their ebMS server.

    Perhaps a use case for an ebXML intermediary. Have some address that your partners can always HTTP push ebMS 3.0 messages to, even when you're not online.  Then you can ebMS3 HTTP Pull messages from that intermediary. 
     
    Sacha's hint is that the SMTP/POP3 combination has offered this model for email for many years, so that using SMTP/POP3 as message transport would allow any ISP to become an ebMS3 intermediary ..
