Well, take a look at the recipe that I linked to in my first message in 
this thread.

This part of the recipe makes it ignore already VERPed addresses
    # only the un-VERPed bounce addresses are handled
    senders = "*-bounces@*"

And this part defines the VERP format.
        return_path = \
      ${local_part:$return_path}+$original_local_part=\
$original_domain@${domain:$return_path}
