Re: new draft RFC 90% done.

"Softdeny" means MTAs SHOULD reject the message using a 450
transient failure reply code. The shorthand for "softdeny" is "-".

What does this achieve?  Doesn't this just mean that the mail will
bounce after 5-7 days with softdeny, as opposed to bouncing
immediately with deny?

The version of softdeny described on the website, where the message is
tagged with a Received-SPF header, but not rejected at the SMTP level,
sounds more useful in terms of the sunrise strategy...

Or am I missing something?
