FWIW, I find Alexey's postaddress extension rather useful in practise - it
|
|
allows the data to be sent once, it remains in control of the MUA
|
|
(specifically, the organization of your mail remains within the remit of
|
|
the MUA), and it's zero-RTT (in as much as you just add another pipelined
|
|
RCPT to your ESMTP transaction).
|
|
|
|
BURL is useful in concert for remote assembly of messages (forwarding
|
|
messages or attachments); less useful as a generic mechanism because it
|
|
radically increases the number of round-trips.
|
|
|
|
The setup of BURL from an MUA's perspective is awkward, though, because the
|
|
BURL capable submission server provides no hints as to which IMAP server is
|
|
to be used, and vice-versa, making discovery a bit hit and miss.
|
|
Postaddress (I've a horrible feeling that Alexey's going to correct the
|
|
name any second) on the other hand gives you the magic email address to use
|
|
out of an extended LIST, making discovery trivial.
|
|
|
|
So my summary is that after several years of actively using BURL, I'd
|
|
rather have postaddress, which satisfies pretty much everything, but also
|
|
keeps us within the Submission+IMAP model. But yeah, BURL's handy for the
|
|
1% of messages that postaddress doesn't handle.
|
|
|
|
As a final note, while I've no particular objection to a model where the
|
|
remote message store can also handle submission (X.400 does this via, erm,
|
|
P7, and seems to work just fine), I'm more than a little wary of
|
|
introducing such a radical change in model. I don't think I'm clever enough
|
|
to spot all the things we may miss.
|
|
|
|
Dave.
