With XSEND, you upload the message to IMAP first, then you say:

how do you provide the SMTP forward path? Is that scraped from the headers?
That's the right thing to do. You also need to do BCC: processing.
(sendmail -t does the right thing.)
I think the guys that developed SMTP would disagree with you. The
reason the envelope is even specified in SMTP rather than the
receiver simply scraping them out of the message, is that sometimes
you need to deliver a message somewhere other than the To: / bcc:
headers.
Rarely. I don't even know an IMAP client which supports doing that.
It's not like SMTP would disappear if you need something more complex.
parsing the message file is a lot more work than the client passing the
info over (which it already has).
just sayin'
then can handle both scenarios... list processing etc... opportunities
open up instead of being shut down.
