Brent,
One 'supposes' that Cisco wouldn't have this feature in use unless at least one
mainstream MTA could use it. Cisco staff are fairly prolific w/r providing draft
RFC's, and Go Ogle found:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0t/12_0t7/feature/guide/esmtp_a.html
.. but no RFC referenced.
Yet Go Ogle also finds Sun Java work that mentions the 'XACT' command:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/com/sun/mail/smtp/SMTPTransport.html
Ergo, there must be more.... somewhere.
For sure Exim code could be added to do it. Not (personally) sure if a custom
message might also serve, nor if this is a growing need or a vanishing one.
HTH,
Bill
