-  <h3>Selective triggering &amp; Transaction isolation</h3>
+  <h3>Selective triggering &amp; recipient addressing with transaction isolation</h3>
+
+  <p>In a real world scenario, receiving isolated transactions is not
+  enough. You would need to trigger outgoing emails only for certain
+  users, typically QA engineers such as Dave and Carol. Moreover, you
+  would want the emails generated by transaction made by Carol to
+  Carol's mailbox and those generated by Dave to Dave's mailbox.</p>
+
+  <p>Selective triggering and addressing are two distinct
+  problems. Depending on the exact circumstances, there are many ways
+  of tackling these two issues. However, for the sake of simplicity,
+  let us assume that the SMTP server at Fooware.com accepts <a
+  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address#Address_tags">address
+  tags</a>. Such an SMTP server treats an incoming message sent to
+  username+xyz at fooware.com as if it were addressed to
+  username at fooware.com, effectively stripping the +xyz part.</p>
+
+  <p>Let us further assume that we can somehow extract the email
+  address of the user from the contents of her transaction, via a
+  database lookup or perhaps some other means. The extracted email
+  addressed is placed into the MDC under the key "txEmail".
+  </p>
+
+  <p>Upon a logging event marked as SMTP_TRIGGER, the following
+  confugration file will trigger an email message addressed to the
+  value of "%mdc{txEmail}" but only if it contains the string "+log".
