Re: orbs.org accuses qmail of mailbomb relaying!

A package is the concatenation of three strings:
      first, an encoded 8-bit mail message;
      second, an encoded envelope sender address;
      third, an encoded series of encoded envelope recipient addresses.

The encoded envelope sender address isn't expanded on beyond the examples
given, but your proposal might give a good performance increase for very
large lists (a la redhat.com lists, etc.).  The qmtp documentation doesn't
seem to mention VERP at all.

See

for previous discussion on the issue (that went almost nowhere).
