If one was willing to extend SMTP again, it would be theoretically possible to send one copy of a message to aol.com for 100 recipients with a form of VERP, using an extended syntax like MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] EPFX:johnsmith-aol.com- 250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] EPFX:joerandom-aol.com- 250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok DATA and the receiving MTA would prepend the EPFX value to the envelope sender for each recipient. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
