Have alternate addresses stored on the server, associated with the
primary EAI address for the account (this has been recommended in

something like VRFY, that verifies an email address and returns the
associated alternate address. So when an MTA discovers it needs to
downgrade, it can use this SMTP command to get the alternate
addresses needed from an authoritative source.
What Section 3 of draft-yao-eai-deployment-03 recommends is to
generate an alternative address and have it stored on the (sender)
server-side. The user does not have to bother about that alternative
address as the server puts it in.
Are you suggesting using VRFY to get the alternative address from
another SMTP server?
