I'm having the same problem. All of the bounces are "unrecognized". After
staring at this code for a while, I don't think that we have the same
problem, just the same symptoms.

Are you saying that your VERP_FORMAT is '%(bounces)s-%(mailbox)s=%(host)s' ?

If so, I don't think that would work very well since the mailbox name could
have a '-' in it, making part matching ambiguous.

If I misunderstood, can you clarify? What are your VERP_FORMAT and your
VERP_REGEXP?
