	That may be true for Exim, but perhaps not for other MTAs. 
Assuming that's true, it's still going to slow down the MTA quite a 
bit.

	Moreover, I question the value of this within the context of 
Mailman -- since Mailman didn't do the VERP on outbound, I wonder 
whether or not it will be able to make appropriate use of the 
extended information on the incoming bounce.
