The client is not allowed to use any other separator other than '-',
or any prefix other than his own local, or to include a cookie in
or a suffix to the VERP expansion. To me this is overly restrictive.
It should not be necessary to require that compliant MTAs implement
qmail-style extension addresses.
Your other points are well taken. I shan't be arguing them.
