Hello Matthias,

If I understand Jose-Marcio corretly, that's not where "303 FORWARD

I guess the basic idea is for cases where it is feasible and practical
for the (intermediate) destination server to tell the sending server to
deliver the message to somewhere else.

You got the idea !!!!!!!

And I agree with all your comments below !


Such a step would eliminate a number of potential forwarding issues (eg
that the forwarding target server may/should identify the forwarding
server as a legitimate forwarder and not as a spam source per se).

However I'm not sure that there would be sufficiently broad usage that
it would gain sufficient attraction and adoption, but it could be an
interesting SMTP extension, especially for sites with a large forwarding
user base (like Google etc).
