If the proxied protocol is a store-and-forward type, like SMTP, then
it seems that the callout server might, quite properly, send
transformed messages directly to an application endpoint (SMTP server)
without going back through the OPES processor.
If that is the case, why would you need a callout protocol in the first
place? Why wouldn't "OPES processor" and "callout server" talk SMTP
between each other? "OPES processor" and "callout server" would just be
two mail servers talking SMTP...
Absolutely true. This is a daisy chaining model. This is not excluding any
other model. This is not exlusing callout protocol additions in metadata.
