Title: RE: [ebxml-msg] RE: The Return Path Problem

Good People,

In the EDI world, we simply use multiple from party addresses.  For example, we might use a DUNS number, in which the high order part of the number has been assigned to our compnay, and the low order portion is internally assigned.

Seems to me that life gets even easier in the Internet world.  We're all familiar with the EMail 'mailroom'.  It's the name that follows the "@" symbol.  The internal address is the part that preceeds the "@" symbol.  We're also familiar with subaddesses in the WWW.  The mailroom address preceeds the '/', and the subaddresses follow the first '/'/

Why isn't the obvious solution being considered?  I'm confused.

Cheers,
        Bob Miller
