Thanks for info, I wasn't aware of that possibility. Maybe
it is unnecessary to have the LMTP reference as "normative",
but based on your info I agree that a "downref" is no issue.
Possible in theory. In practice unless and MTA's internal architecture is
designd for this it would likely require substantial redesign to do so.
Isn't SMTP supposed to be store-and-forward? I'm not sure if it's the case
here, but if we are tampering with the store-and-forward paradigm, I think
it's problematic.
