Yes, VERP is a sitewide setting. You can VERP only personalized
deliveries, but you then have the catch-22 - digests aren't
personalized.

It requires modifications to a few Mailman modules. It would be easier
to set VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 for long enough to get the
information.

You could even change your crontab to run a shell script instead of
cron/senddigests.

The script could

1. edit mm_cfg.py to set VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
2. do bin/mailmanctl restart
2.5 sleep a bit
3. do cron/senddigests -l problem_list
3.5 sleep a bit
4. edit mm_cfg.py to set VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 0
5. do bin/mailmanctl restart
5.5 sleep a bit
6. do cron/senddigests
