Well, yes, if you configure stuff in a naive way.  I'd route an entire
/64 to the mail server, and configure the server as its own router
with all of those IP addresses internally forwarded to a single IP
that talks to the outside world.  If you wanted to do IP hopping,
it wouldn't be hard to do.

Depends what your intentions are.  If you're trying to do listwashing,
you may wall see DNSBL listings rather than bounces.  I like VERP just
fine and my lists use it, but I do get back FBL reports that are
munged to the point where I can't tell who complained.  But they
rarely munge the IP.
