Wonderful document, thanks for the pointer!  Next best thing to an RFC
:) Hopefully I can fold Qmail.py and Postfix.py into a single module
now.  BTW, there are MTAs out there with bounce formats that really
/do/ seem to require guesswork, er, reverse engineering.  Some are
even more horrible, containing nothing discernable as a mailing list
address at all. :(

Cool to hear that Postfix will soon be supporting DSN.  BTW, in
Python's case, it's actually rather easy to deal with MIME DSN
reports.  It could be trivial, but Python's MIME handling modules
could use a serious makeover.

Again, thanks for the pointer,
