And yes, the concept of relays should disappear along with much of the other cruft SMTP brings. (And while we're at it, can we fix/replace IMAP, or at least make the spec say that message ids are eternal and can't be invalidated?)
- grey-area 11y agoIMO Message ids should be defined as a sha512 of headers and content to ensure they are unique. A new protocol is required.
- jimktrains2 11y agoCurrently headers get modified in-flight, so a content-based ID wouldn't work. As for a new protocol, there are some out there, but all fail in some way or another. I figured I'd throw my ideas out there and see how much they fail https://github.com/jimktrains/email_ng https://github.com/jimktrains/email_ng
