happen to have a bunch of mailing lists in virtual domains, and they
have bounce handlers. I can assure you from experience that all
addresses on the mailing lists are handled the same, and it makes no
difference whatsoever if an address to which VERP mail is sent is
local, remo
ing if it's a local domain and another if it's virtual. Sounds
pretty bloated to me, particularly since there are generally far more
deliveries to virtual addresses, which want the prefixed address, than
VERP bounces, which don't.

It's true, qmail doesn't work the way you might first have guessed it
does. That doesn't mean it&#
you want to keep using the RBL, RSS, an DUL, they want a

ng with it. Certainly exit
routines have been around for a long time and are a well-proven
extension mechanism. It's sort of the inverse of the way that
"except" and "bouncesaying" work. Yeah, it could screw up the SMTP
dialog, but patches can screw it up worse.

I'll dig up the patch that does this and try it out. Given that the
