Unfortunately, we're stuck with SMTP as it's currently standardized, and
I do not see either of the proposals I mentioned becoming standards-track
any time soon.  Even if they are widely accepted by the standards community,
I don't see MTA authors adopting them quickly, and even if MTA authors
adopt them, ratware authors won't.  We're stuck.

It's impractical.  Some MTAs will batch together recipients that have
the same MX host, so that kind of indirection is all for naught.
