P.S. One way to finesse this would be to have the submission server echo the
changed address in  response to a MAIL FROM. That way a client could get its
address "signed" by starting a transaction, getting the MAIL FROM response,

issuing a RSET. It's a way to do it with essentially no protocol additions or
changes.

Incidentally, that's what my batv plugin for qpsmtpd does (not by design
- it's just a side effect of how the address rewriting works):
