For a while now I've been thinking that we could do this kind of VERP-like custom messages for the password reminders. Those we already have to craft specially for each recipient, so why not include an easily detected header, then catch those bounces and scan them?

Not a bad idea at all!

I chose a selectable VERP-ish window as I wanted to be able to tailor the sensitivity to the normal rate of list traffic: It wouldn't be surprising to get 10 bounces a day from one member if your post averages a couple hundred posts a day and you dine one VERP-ish per 10 messages...
