Thanks, Sam!
After looking through the rfcs, hats of to Dan Bernstein for VERP,
QSBMF, and cutting through the "good intentions". I think he is right
about not worring about it in ezmlm. VERP reliably deals with bounces
in a way that DSN can't unless it is 100% implemented. Looking through
the bounces for a few mailing lists, "delay notifications" are a _very_
minor fraction (<< 1% of bounces).
