No doubt but it might be a wise time to consider the effects of
"lists" or would be better put as "exploders" as well as standard
mail with multiple rcpt settings. The request does require a
poweful general purpose model for dealing with headers/body
combinations this may help resolve some conflicts related to
the managment of mailqueues when there are routed, rerouted,
non-rerouted or directed , re-directed and non-redirected
requirements.
