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

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 ?

551  User not local; please try <forward-path>

This is a permanent error - so an human is needed to interpret this.

I was thinking about something like (nor 4xx nor 5xx) :

303 FORWARD somepath at domain.com


It's been around since at least RFC 821, possibly longer.  I've never seen
it in the wild, though.

Someone though about.
