[Asrg] Redirection at SMTP session

Hello,

Someone suggested forwarding at SMTP session, the same way as HTTP does.

As long as forwarding/redirection is something which breaks many other possible mail features (SPF, 
...), it could be something interesting.

A typical SMTP session could be something of the kind :

 >>>RCPT To: someone at xx.com
<<<FORWARD To: otherone at yy.com

This kind of thing isn't an open relay as the SMTP server shall maintain a table/database of 
redirections or, at least, some redirection rules.

Was this kind of thing already discussed in the past ? Any thoughs ?

Regards,

Jose-Marcio
