On our system, we just mark the account as disabled, and then the app servers stop sending to it. The mail server is plain old qmail.

Bounce processing is handled similarly to you, but instead of VERP we just added a extra mail header: “X-playfirst-mail”, which contains the email identification (account id, type of email, etc.). A python script picks up the bounce messages, parses out the X-playfirst header, and disables the account.
