Having postfix do your VERP'ing for you isn't going to help.  Mailman needs 
to know what VERP was used going out, so that it can match that when the 
bounce comes back in.  Even if you could patch Mailman so that it would 
automatically understand the postfix-style VERP and properly apply that, it 
still wouldn't help you.

Delivering larger amounts of messages from Mailman to postfix and then 
having postfix do the VERP'ing isn't going to keep your delivery rates to 
remote sites at a lower level -- if anything, it's going to increase it.


This is a postfix problem.  Find the sites that cause the problems, and set 
up separate queues for them, with different parallelism and 
re-queueing/re-try schedules.
