What I've been referring to as bounces may more appropriately be called
challenges. Anyway, what I have been saying is that the challenge (which
currently looks like an ordinary email) be standardized so that they can be
universally recognized as a challenge. I am proposing a filter that could
recognize this challenge email. The challenge email would contain the email
address of the relevant email account in an easily parsable form so that the
filter can make sure that the challenge is being received by the user who had
just sent out the corresponding email.
Could you *please* not use huge single-line paragraphs?
To re-linebreak this and pick out the relevant part,

Good luck. We have yet to get even anything close to universal
adoption of the *existing* standard for bounces (see RFC 3462 - I
regularly get annoyed by blowback bounces not correctly formatted and
which thus aren't recognized as bounces by my software[%]). I can't
see any reason to think that C/R challenges would fare any better.
