The bottom of http://www.courier-mta.org/ links that VERP proposal
behind the name XVERP.  I'm sure that the X is there simply to allow
its presence and use before the RFC reaches some consensus.

A thing I hadn't thought about: if the local MTA senses that the remote
MTA *also* supports XVERP, it doesn't have to do the expansion
itself; it can simply send on one XVERP-ed multirecipient message,
and let the final MTA handle the envelope multiplication.
