However, I think we could This reminded me of something that I wanted to mention. In whichever form the eventual specification of recipient limits takes place: I believe that the specification should set a minimum recipient limit. In other words: the minimum number of recipients that can be advertised. I believe that the generally good track record of historical interoperability of SMTP implementations goes back to what's in section 4.5.3 of RFC 821, that gives the minimal limits of various things, like line lengths. And, incidentally, the minimum number of recipients that an SMTP server should accept is 100 recipients. I don't remember if this was discussed, but this should be called out in any eventual recipient limit specification: the minimum value is 100, as per 2821 and 821.
