I wasn't trying to single out milter's specifically.  What we've 
discussed, over and over, is the fact that you can't always know the 
final recipient at the time of receipt (even though you may know it's 
a valid address).  I don't see the need for us to go into it over and 
over again.

.forward's were one thing.  The other is a standard system where the 
gateway mail system is outside of the firewall, but additional 
delivery is done inside the firewall.

But anyway.  I'm just don't see that this conversation is generating 
anything except heat.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
