I was thinking last night that what would REALLY, REALLY be useful here is an extended SMTP protocol that allows the VERPing to be introduced by the receiving SMTP server, rather than the delivery server or MLM. And after thinking about it, I went and laid down in a dark room until I got over it... (snicker). But if you think about it, the downside to VERP is you lose the efficiency of batching multiple addresses into a single transaction, so the solution is to extend SMTP to allow us to maintain that effeciency while building in the VERPing data at time of delivery...

It would be interesting to get this to work across .forwards and other things that rewrite the envelope.
