I think that is indeed the goal (not bypassing policy

better: be
able to adjust or confirm, after DATA, any successful RCPT-TO that
happened before DATA. I'm sure this has been suggested before, but
dunno why it hasn't gotten any start.

I had lunch last week with some guys who send "responsible e-mail

That's pretty rare behaviour within the reputable bulk email
industry. VERP and per-recipient customization make one
email per recipient the method of choice for most of
the B2C mailers higher in the ecosystem than spammers.
(It is less unusual in the discussion list side of things, but
that's not really where this is aimed at).
