I would like to take this opportunity, given the number of implementers in
the room (guten tag, Claus!), to ask:
Hypothetically, if this work were to take the path of declaring a new code
point for this purpose, what's the likelihood of adoption?
Please note "instead of or in addition to" in the sentiment above.
Perhaps, but first it'd have to be clear what "this purpose" means.
- Standardise "Envelope-To"/"X-Original-To" that records the public input
address
that led to the recipient, thus unifying a common feature of
Exim/Postfix/...
- Standardise a variant of "Delivered-To" for consumption by downstream MUAs
that
is not MTA-private for loop detection, but rather a commitment to record the
actual delivery address and not "some opaque token" (that often happens to
be
the delivery address)? If so, what's the use-case? Who needs this, and
what
are they going to do with it that would motivate implementation?
- Something else? For what audience, and why?
