If one was willing to extend SMTP again, it would be theoretically possible 
to send one copy of a message to aol.com for 100 recipients with a form of 
VERP, using an extended syntax like

        MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
        250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender ok
        RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] EPFX:johnsmith-aol.com-
        250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok
        RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED] EPFX:joerandom-aol.com-
        250 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Recipient ok
        DATA

and the receiving MTA would prepend the EPFX value to the envelope sender 
for each recipient.
