Unfortunately, even with the magic of VERP, there are some systems out
there that are just so broken they bounce back to Reply-To: headers,
or From: headers, or even Sender: headers. It's quite sad.

(Talking of bounces, does anyone know of any efforts to track service
quality of popular mail services? I'm thinking here of measurement of
average time in queue for popular destinations, together with tracking
outages? Some of our mailing lists regularly have large amounts of
mail stacked up for yahoo.com, and we're always getting strange
bounces from hotmail.com - as well as the usual 'mail box full'
rubbish. It seems like something that would be worth measuring and
recording.)
