I knew that SIMS wouldn't read any of the data from the message, but I guess
my question related to what information in the envelope SIMS does verify and
in that verification whether the information you get from that conversation
is accurate.

Don't need the local part validated at this point.

The domain would suffice right now.

So, if in fact, that is what SIMS already does, then I guess my question is
answered.
