I agree that it's possible to work around by using VERP, but using VERP significantly magnifies the amount of traffic that you're pushing through Mailman's outgoing SMTP server since Mailman now has to send a separate message for every recipient. It's a great workaround for small lists and not so great for large lists with lots of recipients at the same destination server. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
