P.S.: to this the honourable John Klensin however says That, and some of your other comments, are closely related to the reasons why X.400 adopted a P1/ P2/ P3 model. There were, on a couple of occasions, discussions of trying to revise Internet mail to use that model but, as you can probably guess, they went nowhere (and did so rather quickly). So we are stuck with trying to depend on ordering, with discussions about whether non-transport information can be part of trace fields, etc. Absent a good way to turn the clock back to 1981 or so, we are stuck in a world of sometimes-strange compromises and, while we might disagree on the least-bad of those compromises, we probably need to accept them as reality.[.] --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt) _______________________________________________ Postfix-users mailing list -- postfix-users@postfix.org To unsubscribe send an email to postfix-users-le...@postfix.org
