With VERP, the envelope recipient rcptnamercptdomain is embedded
in the bounce address as

    owner-listname+rcptname=rcptdomainexample.com

(assuming recipient delimiters of "+=").

With this, you lose the rcptname=rcptdomain information,
which already provides you with the recipient address.

What could be simpler than replacing "=" by "" ?
