OPES is supposed to enable new services.
The call-forward wouldn't have been a hack if it had been done as
part of an OPES service, using the same architectural model that
we used for HTTP. Further, we rule out a large number of useful
identity-based services by eliminating the ability to do
response modification.

it doesn't really fit into the OPES model because the
call-forward is not a full SMTP conversation (it's a hack), so it's
probably too much of a strain to support something that's fairly esoteric.
