Fair enough. Then use something other than the = sign. And if you're
worried about using a string that ends up being longer than 64
characters, then use a simple database and send the key that
identifies the original recipient. Something like:

        bounce-dbkey12345678@listhost

then handle the bounce in ~bounce/.qmail-default by looking up the
database to find the original recipient.


DSN is vastly less reliable and vastly more complicated.
