Re: [Asrg] pre-rfc thought balloon: ESMTP DATAFIRST

When a server identifies itself as supporting the DATAFIRST extension,

So you'll have to accept the data even though there may be no valid recipient?

I'd think an extension where the responses to RCPT was delayed until after DATA would be much more useful! That way you could reject DATA if there has been no valid recipients, while keeping the ability to do per-recipient content scanning.
