Hey all,

The dayjob is attempting to tie VERP into our ticket system (RT with postfix), and it would be useful to encode not just the magic "from" address, but ideally the ticket number as well, so that a bounced reply to the customer can be added to the ticket stream.

So if normal verp (per the docs) rewrites owner-listname@origin for user@domain, by setting a sender such as owner-listname+user=dom...@origin...are there any "gotchas" to instead calling verp with a value such as ticketbounces-ticketnumber@origin, and letting VERP rewrite it to something like:

ticketbounces-12345+bob=customer.org@origin

So thus we know which conversation the bounce was on.

VERP doesn't have a formal RFC I can read, and I don't see a reason it shouldn't work so long as we set up the right handler, but if anyone has any other insight, I'd love to see it.

(Ignoring the fact that sometimes stupid filters like office365 just silently discard or accept and route to spam instead of properly bouncing -- we can't really solve that).

-Dan
