One shortcoming of SMTP that really needs fixing is this: When you
send e-mail to multiple recipients, it is not possible to indicate
successful delivery to some recipients, but not all recipients, after
the data phase.

Therefore, rather than just a numeric reply code, I think the protocol should
reply with headers of its own.  For example, if the client says:

	Deliver-To: <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>
	Deliver-To: <foo@roaringpenguin.com>

then the server should be able to reply:

	Delivery-Status: <dfs@roaringpenguin.com> 200 Accepted
	Delivery-Status: <foo@roaringpenguin.com> 554 Unacceptable content

Perhaps (probably) you intended this, but let's make it explicit.
