Actually, Mailman doesn't do VERP by default because it requires sending a separate message to the MTA for each recipient if Mailman does it. Thus, the default is no VERP so Mailman can deliver posts to multiple recipients in one SMTP transaction with multiple RCPT TO commands. You can configure your MTA to do the VERPing, or you can have Mailman do it. If Mailman does it, there are the various settings Brad points out above. If some lists are already personalized, you can set VERP_PERSONALIZED_DELIVERIES to Yes to VERP deliveries to those lists. This setting exists because it involves no extra overhead since personalized deliveries are sent individually already. If you want Mailman to VERP all deliveries, just set VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 and don't worry about personalization. All these settings are documented in Defaults.py. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
