a long long *long* time ago now, I made a small hack to SMTPDeliver.py to add options to the sendmail connection EHLO, to enable VERP generation in the MTA (so that the sending system didn't have to send N messages to the MTA to accomplish VERP, but rather let the MTA deal with it). For Postfix, this is as simple as adding the XVERP option.
I still don't see any facility for doing this in a generic way; has anyone addressed the problem, and if so can someone point me at the solution?..

I would love to see something like that - letting Postfix do the VERPing for you.

I've been using that patch for months (I used it replace a patch of my own that did basically the same thing, but in a sightly less generic way.)
In short, if you have mm_cfg.VERP_STYLE=Postfix defined, it will pass the ESMTP argument XVERP=+= to the RCPT command, then postfix will take care of it.
I believe it also work on EXIM, though I don't have it here to try. If it does, then i would suggest changing to option name to something more generic applying the patch.

However MTA side VERPing is easy to do in Exim - see the Mailman HOWTO on the exim site http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html
