Well, I assumed you'd already done that since I don't see how you can
include a recipient unique token in the msg_footer if delivery isn't
personalized.

However, all you need is for the list's delivery is to be personalized.
Whether you accomplish this by turning on
OWNERS_CAN_ENABLE_PERSONALIZATION and setting personalize via the GUI or
setting personalize some other way, e.g. via withlist, that's all you need.

If for some reason you're not personalizing, but ensuring a single
recipient per SMTP transaction by setting VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
then yes, you would need to either set the list's personalize attribute
non-zero or you could add your variable name to ALLOWEDS in
Mailman/Gui/Digest.py, but setting personalize is the right way to do it.

If the list's delivery is not personalized and VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL is
or becomes unequal 1 (and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS is unequal 1) you will wind up
decorating multiple recipients messages with the same data.
