SRS has an option to do DB-backed forwarding in all cases and this
must be implemented so that there is a fallback in cases where the
MTA being forwarded to rejects the MAIL FROM due to excessive
localpart lengths.

So, what you have described is a subset of SRS.

Ok, our company has a definite decision: No database for return path
rewriting. Period. It's a maintenance nightmare, a single point of
failure in an otherwise redundant system, and doesn't scale.

But there was the intention to *do* some kind of sender rewriting, just
the requirement that it must be stateless.

There's code to implement the hash-based SRS, but you indicate that
that's not enough.

Suggestions?

Kind regards,
