Jerrard,

RT doesn't do anything with bounces.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_envelope_return_path#How_VERP_solves_the_bounce_handling_problem

Actually VERP in RT is not about recipients as RT sends one mail per
many recipients, but about creator and it's only for you to decide how
to use it.

Grep for VERP in code, it's ~10 lines in one file. Pretty easy to understand.

True VERP can be useful as text of bounces is not standardized and
sometimes it's hard to get recipient out of a bounce message, we even
don't talk about reason of a bounce.
