Any takes for a QMTP _recipient_ side VERP expansion draft?
When you talk about several recipients in a QMTP message where the QMTP
recipient does VERP expansion there are no valid arguments whatsoever
against having multiple recipients.
In essence, you get raw qmail queue communication. Fast, efficient, and
usable both as normal hosts and especially as smarthosts. You can run
mailing lists on a host with a not-so-good connection, QMTP them to a
well-connected smarthost and explode then there. To other QMTP hosts
they go on as multi-recipient messages, to SMTP hosts they go
one-by-one after VERP expansion.
