[Mailman-Users] Possibly OT: VERP to plussed addresses

2010-02-28 Thread Stefan Foerster
I have noticed that Mailman seems to be capable to correctly parse
bounces that come from a plussed address. Example: I'm subscribed to
this list with

cite+mailman-us...@example.net

so the sender address looks like this:

mailman-users-bounces+cite+mailman-users=example@python.org

While it's very nice that this is working - _why_ does it work? Does
Mailman simply start at the leftmost +?

Oh, and BTW: Happy 1st of a month, python.org listmasters! Enjoy your
bounces ;-)

The short answer is yes. For the long answer, see the definitions of
VERP_FORMAT and VERP_REGEXP in Defaults.py.

And a Happy Mailman Day to you too ;).

Sweet, does this mean I get the day off work?
