As far as I'm concerned, the reason I wrote is related to:

about the method http://fixforwarding.org/wiki/Water_tight_opt-in

It isn't a new method.  It is the subject of a number of patents, from
the original US 5930479, by Robert J. Hall, filed in October 1996, to
US 20130007896.  Yet, it seems to me the method is being used and
diffused much less than it deserves, and I don't know why.

It is toilsome to use that method without an assisting add-on.  In
particular, I wouldn't like to make a fork of TrashMail's add-on for
the sole purpose of replacing its hard-coded server name, a practice
that obviously wouldn't scale well.  So I'm looking for advice on how
to design, implement, and spread code so as to make deployment as
straightforward as possible.

Thank you
