RFC 2645: ODMR

[Brad Knowles <blk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

	Is this list still alive?  Can you point me at the archives (if 
there are any)?  As it goes with many things on the 'net, I just 
found out about this RFC, and I'm wondering what discussion has 
already taken place with regards to the handling of multiple mail 
servers for which mail may be queued for a particular customer.

	Life would be very simple if we only ever had one mail server 
that acted as a backup MX or the only visible MX for our customers, 
but the real world just isn't quite that clean.  Of course, customers 
don't want to know how many mail servers we may have, and in fact we 
may not want them to know how many mail servers we have.  This makes 
implementing ODMR rather more difficult, since you've now got to add 
a layer of indirection, or some other method to handle the same 
problem.


	Thanks!
