Glad to hear it. I agree that VERP is very helpful. I don't think we have to worry about DJB patenting it. I was more commenting on how some developers tend to stay away from it if developed by DJB; others flock to it... but that could spark a long debate about DJB's software, coding and distribution practices, which I do not intend to do. (Note: I currently use qmail and ezmlm. I intend to say neither good or bad about him, his software or anything else with this e-mail.)
