Hello Stephen,

Thanks for you well explaination. I configured   verp_confirm_format: $address 
to strip the COOKIE.
It's working now after I configured verp_confirm_format: $address+$cookie to 
[mta] section in file /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg.  and verified variable 
recipient_delimiter = + in file /etc/postfix/main.cf.



Thanks,
Marin

This shouldn't happen if you check pre-confirmed.
Also, the from address should be test1-confirm+COOKIE@domain, where
COOKIE is a long string of random-looking characters.

What was the content of this mail?  The return address of
"test1-bounce@domain" is normal.  *Posts* via a mailing list are
expected to be two-way (that is, it is normal, expected to behavior
for users to reply to the list).  The "test1-confirm" From address is
used only on mail used to confirm ownership of an address or
subscription to a mailing list by a user who is not logged in, but it
should always contain a "+COOKIE" at the end.  Most other
"administrative" From addresses are the "test1-bounce" address, which
is used for informative emails which are not expected to receive
replies (as well as the hidden "envelope return" address which a mail
server returns undeliverable mail to, thus the "bounce" name).

This may be because something is stripping the COOKIE.  If you have
these emails saved, it will help to diagnose the problem if you send
us the "raw" or "source" email, including all the header material that
email clients usually hide.
