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

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?..

nobody knows? nobody cares? both?

but I haven't looked at the details of it.

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.

There's this:

Yup, that's essentially what I did (except slightly nicer as it's configurable in mm_cfg.py).

Any chance of getting this into A Mailman Near You?
