VERP is useful for mailing lists, to automatically process bounce
messages.

BATV is useful to prevent spam backscatter. Unfortunately, it doesn't
work well with Exim's autoreply mechanisms. It occurs to me that rate-
limiting bounce messages per recipient might be more useful.

They are both useful to you as a sender. SPF and DKIM are more useful
to recipients, as they can provide assurance that mail is from the
address claimed.
