Not true.  It simply means that the remote system would have to
implement VERP when qmail-remote tells the smtpd that the envelope
sender is list-@[]@host.example.com.  Unfortunately, qmail-remote and
VERP-compatible smtp servers do not cooperate in that manner.
Actually there's no protocol reason why qmail-remote couldn't look for
VERP in the EHLO tags, and send over all recipients for the current
piece of email along with a VERP envelope sender.  Of course, the
current structure of qmail-send won't allow for that (even though
qmail-remote will).
