Talk:Synchronized Forwarding

Feel Free to Rename This Article
I am creating this page only because I cannot find the concept mentioned anywhere else in Wikipedia. There is probably a more popular name than "synchronized forwarding" for this technology, so if you know what it is, please feel free to rename this article. I happen to be the author of an open-source mail server which implements this technology, so to avoid conflict-of-interest I will refrain from including a link to that open source project until the community settles on what the proper name for this technology is. I most emphatically do not claim to have invented this! On the contrary -- it's a fairly obvious idea that I'm sure dozens of people have re-discovered, and it ought to be able to be referenced.

 * oops, sorry, I redirected this to the "obvious" article without either reading this comment or looking close at where the article redirects. Looks like it more work should be done here.  Wrs1864 (talk) 19:38, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, "Integration_of_anti-spam_techniques_into_MTAs#Proxies" is something different. But I just don't have time to keep cleaning up your changes.  Do whatever you like.  Megacz (talk) 21:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, well, if "synchronized forwarding" is something more than what a transparent SMTP proxy does, then you would need to explain it better. It certainly seems to match the one link you gave. I did do a little more work on the proxy article, but as I mentioned above, it could use a lot more work.  Wrs1864 (talk) 22:33, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've done a bunch of work on the Transparent SMTP proxy article.  It should be clearer now that one of the major parts of what the proxy does is this "synchronized forwarding" aspect, and not just the integration anti-spam features. Wrs1864 (talk) 22:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
