Well of course that's what VERP was invented for after all.
The problem there is that many ISPs and colocation facilities don't and won't support VERP.
If you're a transit MTA, then whether or not VERP was used to create the envelope sender address should not matter -- you should just pass the string you were given. If you're the target MTA, you don't need to worry about VERP because it's only used on the sender address, not the recipient -- so plus detail is not there.
The VERP stuff only comes into play if there is a bounce that is generated, and then the only MTA that needs to do anything with it is the original sending system. Even then, the MTA doesn't actually do anything with it, it just passes everything to Mailman.
