I queried this with my isp provider who queried it with IS (Internet Solutions, smtp server & backbone provider) who said that ',' should work. That has me worried, did they misunderstand my query?
I'm sure they misunderstood. ',' is a delimiter between email addresses, not a delimiter between a local part and a local part suffix in a single address.
I'll have to adjust the regex given in the FAQ. Should I try this or is this so unusual as to be unlikely?
I do have all 10 addresses now, just to be sure.
OK. First make sure that the fables-list Bounce processing -> bounce_unrecognized_goes_to_list_owner setting is Yes.
Then send test messages via the relay server to fables-list-bounces@fables.co.za, fables-list-bounces+xxx@fables.co.za and fables-list-bounces-xxx@fables.co.za. These messages can be very simple, say both subject and body containing just 'test' or something similar.
The message to fables-list-bounces@fables.co.za should definitely result in an unrecognized bounce notice to the list owner. One or both of the others may result in a rejection by the relay, but at least one may get relayed to the Mailman server and result in an unrecognized bounce notice to the list owner.
If none get through, there is still a problem with the relay. If only the fables-list-bounces@fables.co.za message gets through, you can't use VERP. If one of the others gets through, you can use VERP with the corresponding delimiter.
