Since David raised the question about SMTP, the focus needs to be on the
scenario from posting to delivery. Are there multiple hops from the

I was not raising a question, I was making a proposal. Alessandro
Vesely seems to be the only voice participating in this topic who
understood what I meant.
appreciate the real and extensive diversity
of email transfer scenarios we still rely on.
What I meant by "realm" is very close to "administrative domain."
Sending realm sends to receiving realm. a backwards-compatible (no
zero day) FUSSP must live on the receiving realm.
My proposal, that I guess I did not make very well, is:
For purposes of discussing the nature of a FUSSP, operations within a
"realm" (which is not at this point a well-defined term) should be
treated as a black box that has full information sharing within it.
