3028bis, section 4.2, paragraph 2
2007-02-06 17:38:25
There's been some lingering dislike of the description of the redirect
action, particularly how it describes the change of envelope recipient.
3028bis-10 removed this sentence
The "redirect" modifies the envelope recipient.
as it was observed that it implied that the result of the 'envelope' test
would be affected. With that gone, only the second paragraph actually
described how the address in the action was to become an envelope
recipient, but it's description is fairly indirect. So, I propose
replacing most of that paragraph, so that instead of reading thusly:
The redirect command performs an MTA-style "forward"--that is, what
you get from a .forward file using sendmail under UNIX. The address
on the [SMTP] envelope is replaced with the one on the redirect
command and the message is sent back out. (This is not an MUA-style
forward, which creates a new message with a different sender and
message ID, wrapping the old message in a new one.)
it would instead say:
The message is send back out with the address from the redirect
command as an envelope recipient. Implementations MAY combine
separate redirects for a given message into a single submission with
multiple envelope recipients. (This is not an MUA-style forward,
which creates a new message with a different sender and message ID,
wrapping the old message in a new one.)
And yes, the elimination of the mention of .forward files in intentional,
as that irked some.
Are there any objections to the above change?
