Part of the point seems to be having a standardised notification system,
which, if its functional, is a good idea. About a third of the way down the
RFC they have a nice ASCII drawing of what happens if you have a mail system
running behind a gateway and how the message notifications are handled if
the necessary hosts support DSN.
It seems somewhat bulky (lots of long fields -- looks a lot like a message
header), but (fairly) functional.
I'd like to see some of it implemented just to be able to say that qmail
continues to adhere to the useful RFCs ...
