--- Comment #5 from Faidon Liambotis <[email protected]> ---
So, this bug report was filed right after a conversation about Echo (RT
#4785) in which I was the one to propose VERP, so we've actually ran a full
circle now :)

Yes, we need to do VERP and we'll make that happen. We're not ready yet for
making that change (= making API calls from the mailservers) as the mail
infrastructure is about to be rebuilt, but I think catching up again in, say,
1-2 months time would be the right time for this.

From the mailserver side, we can run a script (preferrably one that doesn't
need a full MediaWiki install on the system ;)) when emails to bounce-XXX
addresses arrive.

The way to avoid fake bounces DoSing a user would be to use a
bounce-<hash>@wikimedia.org return path address with <hash> either being a
random, stored token or one that is the output of a symmetrical encryption
function, encrypt(email, secret). I'm sure Chris Steipp will have multiple good
ideas about that :)
