Now you turned a cycle and justify what you claimed was your own
desire with a reasoning from that other draft.
You must agree this is a bit of a twilight, is it.

But you totally missed the point.
The point is that this draft mutilates SMTP that has the
capability to address a lot of RCPT TO in a single transaction to
a single transaction.

And your desire turns out to be what was reasoning in that draft,
so it is a very fresh desire and it seems to have had no actual
reason from driving your email system.
Logical.

No no, ACDC can that *without* mutilating SMTP, if such desire
/ capability is announced by the receiver, and only then.
Just like what was posted on this list in the past.

You only have to send per receiver *domain*, not per receiver.
That is, actually, what naturally happens within an SMTP server.

More or less.  But from within the DKIM v1 infrastructure that is.

ACDC relies on SMTP and the delivery status notification.
If you have reserved months of development time to implement that
DKIM2, you can very well reserve one month to slice in ACDC and
implement that SMTP feature, shall you not already support it.

 |BCC is also not an issue as this does not impact the handling. As the \

Not it is not.  I and ACDC will not penaltize normal SMTP, nor
will be massively penaltize non-integrated systems like postfix,
or exim, or opensmtpd, for the sake of highly integrated computing
clusters like likely Google and what not.
SMTP can support multiple RCPT TO, and it is absolutely sufficient
to sort emails per receiver domain, which benefits all those
masses of mailing-lists which have to deal with plenty of
subscribptions of mass providers like Gmail for example.

SMTP is I/O bound, and reducing this I/O noise is a massive win.
