That creates a massive barrier to adoption.  Huge implementation

However TiS is implemented will require implementation work on the server-
side, so I'm not sure that [2] is so different from [1] in this respect.


Well, the one huge difference is that an SMTP report [1] might be sent anywhere, and the mailstore operator may never see them.

A mailstore report [2] can only be sent to the mailstore operator - it's then the business of the operator to aggregate and act upon those reports, perhaps by forwarding some of them elsewhere.

So, one question that requires answering is "who's ultimately in control here: the operator or the user?"
