Greetings. I'm evaluating Mailman (2.1.5) on some test lists, and seem to be having a problem getting VERP enabled. I've set what seem like reasonable values in mm_cfg.py (please see below). However, envelope From addresses are still un-VERPed (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) [testing on non-digest immediate delivery messages of course].
Two other questions: I assume that with sendmail it's necessary to build an alias file to handle the returning VERP bounces, since no intrinsic mechanism for this exists within sendmail itself? Also, I was surprised to discover that my mm_cfg.py file gets overwritten with the "empty" distribution version if "make install" is re-run. I had been under the impression that mm_cfg.py wouldn't be overwritten in such a case. Any suggestions on these issues would be appreciated. Thanks very much. --Lauren-- # These variables control the format and frequency of VERP-like delivery for # better bounce detection.
