I do not see why the originator should not be informed of his/her denied
request to receive signed receipts. Assuming that there were good reasons
to deny the user of such an information, there are other occasions where
these reasons would not apply. It would be nice for the originator to be
informed of the denial so that no receipts are expected.

I have a few comments regarding your questions/proposals:
1) It is not always the case that the originator should be advised of the
MLA withdrawing her request for signed receipts; therefore, I believe that
the ESS text is fine the way that it is.

1)Sect 4.4 states that the "The receipt policy of the ML can withdraw the
originator's request for the return of a signed receipt."
Shouldn't the originator be advised of this withdrawal? The User Agent
might try to keep status information on messages requiring a signed receipt
without knowing that a receipt will never arrive. The MLA could send the
originator some kind of signed receipt to warn the User Agent and the
originator.
2)Some organizations require that some mailing list members be exempted to
receive a message distributed by a mailing list agent. I suggest to modify
the MLData type as follows:
MLData ::= SEQUENCE {
mailListIdentifier EntityIdentifier,
--EntityIdentifier is imported from [CMS]
expansionTime GeneralizedTime,
mlReceiptPolicy MLReceiptPolicy OPTIONAL,
exemptedAddress SEQUENCE OF GeneralNames OPTIONAL}
If exemptedAddress exists the MLA should remove the recipients identified
by GeneralNames.
