A Lyris list I subscribe to puts this tag at the bottom of each message:

I don't want to rekindle the single vs. multiple delivery war (also known as
the qmail vs. sendmail war) again, but if you can avoid a preconception that
single deliveries are bad, they have enormous advantages for list management.
VERP, per-receipient envelope addresses, makes it possible to automate nearly
all bounce management, and putting the recipient address in the body of the
message makes it possible to handle most of the others, even from MTAs that
smash the headers and envelope beyond recognition.
