How does this reconcile the reverse-path size limitations imposed by

The ezmlm list manager has been breaking this limit for at least 7
years.  Under qmail, any user can easily create addresses with "too
long" localpart.

I'd be surprised if there were any smtp servers out there enforcing
the 64 character limit.

But why not focus on the really fundamental problems:  

1) How do you propose to handle users' forwarding from .forward or
   .qmail files (as opposed to relaying)?

2) How do you propose to handle SRS in case of multiple incoming and
   outgoing servers?
