VERPing with Sendmail
Has anyone had any success activating VERP with sendmail?
As far as I can see it could be done but generating the 'aliases' file would be daunting to say the least!
Or have I missed a far simpler approach?

I think so, yes. you don't need to setup anything additionally. Everything after and including the plus is just ignored by sendmail unless you put up special aliases for catching them.

Thanks Kai,
Works a treat just as you suggested!
The VERP option used with passwd reminders sure makes it a lot easier to resolve problem bounces.
