I can't find a newer SMTP RFC than 2821...

RFC2821 Section 5:
> If a CNAME record is found instead, the resulting name is processed as if it were the initial name.


I think this is too vague considering it's in the "Address Resolution" section, it can either mean replacing the sender domain or simply following a CNAME.


While exim claims not to do rewriting automatically, it does:

wind.lp0.eu.            3600    IN      CNAME   blackhole.arlott.org.uk.
blackhole.arlott.org.uk. 86400  IN      AAAA    2001:4bd0:1000:0:240:f4ff:fe30:2ab8
blackhole.arlott.org.uk. 86400  IN      A       84.92.75.21


# exim -d -bt postmaster@???
