I have newsletter setup of around 4k users. I am trying to implement verp to parse bounced email-ids. So, I need to implement catch-all setup. I have tested the script with IMAP and am not satisfied with the result. So, I want to test the other work-around where in, the script gets called directly for each and every mail. If the piping method works, I might even try other functions with different mailboxes.

You DO NOT need a catch-all, rather you need to set the recipient_delimiter to match the one used in your VERP envelopes, and configure mail delivery for the base address (sans extension). -- Viktor.
