Actually, you don't need either of these. default_verp_delimiters specifies the default VERP delimiters to be used in the envelope sender address, + to separate the sender from the recipient address and = to replace the @ in the recipient address. verp_delimiter_filter specifies the characters that a sender is allowed to specify as replacements for the defaults. They both relate only to 'true' VERP done by Postfix on outgoing mail and have nothing to do with Postfix's parsing of incoming mail addresses. What you do need in Postfix is recipient_delimiter = + So that when Postfix receives the reply to a 'friendly' confirmation addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it delivers it the same as it would if it were addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . >and this to mm_cfgy.py: > >VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes > >All other VERP setting are whatever is the default in Defaults.py. That's correct. >VERPing the confirmations seems to work as expectedc and I assume that >there is not much of a burden on the server without VERPing every >message or even VERPing a sample of messages. There is no additional burden on anything (except maybe Postfix address parsing on the replies) from setting VERP_CONFIRMATIONS = Yes since the confirmations are individual messages sent one at a time to one recipient regardless of the VERP_CONFIRMATIONS setting. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
