I haven't looked at it, but I do wish I could play with it and perhaps try
out a VERP implementation.  Qmail, courier, and postfix all give the ability
to send messages with VERPs and it would be nice if that feature could be
used.  On a relatively small list (a few hundred subscribers) that I've had
on mailman for about a month I've already had road runner's MX's bounce me
messages whose headers were completely scrambled.  I was wishing that the
recipient could have been encoded in the envelope-from while I was
scratching my head trying to figure out who it was.

I have a feeling that VERPs can be implemented in a way that they can work
on any MTA.

In five years we'll make up another plan.
Or just re-use this one.
