I get the impression that you think that a mismatch of IP address between the client and server, for legitimate (e.g. non-spam) traffic, is an exceptional case that can be dealt with via exceptional means. Even if this is an exceptional case today, I do not believe it will continue to be an exceptional case for the future of IPv4. I see the use of NAT in IPv4 traffic increasing for as long as there is a public IPv4 Internet. (Use of IPv6 address literals could be a different case, but I don't want to wade into that swamp today.) You can obviously do what you like with your own product, and you can probably change the behavior of your product relatively quickly should you need to. But RFCs should be stable documents and should try to provide the right advice for the long term. So I suspect that 5321bis should make it clear that IPv4 addresses can't be expected to be the same between client and server. Keith
