In other words, SMTP does not have the equivalent of an
HTTP redirect which is what he wants here. Maybe SMTP
really is broken? ;-)

hmm.

i seem to recall a similar redirect mechanism in SMTP some time ago. not worth the effort; broken; or somesuch.

anyhow, once you've hit a server, the benefit of having it issue a redirect is much smaller than finding a way to avoid hitting it in the first place.
