FWIW, in both Postfix and Exim, it's a one line config change to do individual deliveries. qmail has always only done individual deliveries.

If you want to do VERP, Postfix and qmail have options to do the bounce address munging in the MTA, so your mailing list sends one message with many recipients but when it goes out on the wire it's expanded to individual copies with unique bounce addresses.


The question is how many recipients does the signing agent see. And it should be able to distinguish which of these are Bcc:.


I continue to believe that whatever problem was solved by multiple recipients went away decades ago. These days mail is a tiny fraction of net usage.


It's a matter of MTA design. The closer the specification adheres to SMTP, the wider the implementation choices.
