Re: [Exim] Using IMAP protocol to SEND email ??

ok - that's great - but - who do you go to to change the standard so
that everyone does this? Seems to me it would solve a lot of problems -
and - it would have an impact on spam as well in that the outgoing
message that is send through the same connection as incomming messages
could get with points for coming from the same server where the return
address of the real incoming account is.
