This ignores some of the other advantages of VERPing -- for instance,
you can start customizing messages to make things better for the
users. For instance, putting the user's address back in the To: line,
encoding unsubscribe info into your unsubscribe links, that sort of
thing. it can REALLY cut the % of user problems and raise user
satisfaction a lot. And really cut the admin hassles as well....
VERPing technology can buy you lots beyond simply making bounces
easier, if you want.
