Hi,
Looks like there isn't any more reply about this proposal on
shifting from UserMailer to Swift-Mailer. Since, we have already started
with implementing VERP, it's high time this enhancement needs to be
applied, if it needs to be. If Swift-Mailer is to be done, VERP needs to be
implemented as a plugin to it, or else as an additional script in the
UserMailer code.
