Hi, could someone please explain what usage case is supposed behind the per-message envelope-sender implemented in MJ2? The original motivation for VERP as presented by D.J.Bernstein was: The fundamental problem in managing a large mailing list is matching bounce messages to subscription addresses. Often a bounce message refers to a failing address that does not appear on the mailing list. One of the mailing list subscribers is forwarding messages to that address. Which subscriber? As the list grows, this question becomes more and more difficult to answer. Since MJ2 uses <[email protected]>, it clearly does not help in identifying the failing delivery address. So what problem is this trying to solve? Thanks & kind regards, M.
