[Mailman-Users] Re: Is postfix owner_request_special needed for mailman2?
It's set to `no` because `yes` is the default and the appropriate setting for MM 2.1 is `no` except it shouldn't matter because owner-listname is not a MM 2.1 address and while listname-request is, in a MM 2.1 installation recipient_delimiter is normally set to `+`. Thanks Mark, Indeed my delimiter is +, so seems this setting makes little difference either way.

Check the setting with "postconf recipient_delimiter". Stephen, Thanks very much for your detailed reply! I'll just leave the postfix default then.

This feature is useful for mailing lists." Which I don't really grok. I'm not sure why it's set to `no` on the older server.
