Newer does not mean better.
- CHUNKING has no benefits for Postfix. The SMTP daemon just has
to do more work transforming the blobs into the canonical Postfix
queue file format.
- BINARYMIME is no good for digital signatures such as DKIM until
every MTA deploys it. When used as submission-only protocol it has
no benefits for Postfix. The SMTP daemon just has to do more work
when it transforms blobs into canonical Postfix queue file format.
- BURL adds an IMAP client to the MTA.
