As far as I know, your settings look like they should enable VERPing all messages. Did you do "mailmanctl restart" after changing mm_cfg.py? >Two other questions: I assume that with sendmail it's necessary to >build an alias file to handle the returning VERP bounces, since >no intrinsic mechanism for this exists within sendmail itself? I'm not a sendmail config expert, but I've used sendmail installations where addresses of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] get delivered in exactly the same way as [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think it works that way by default, See for example http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/msg24326.html i.e. you just need your basic list aliases, not any special listname-bounces+... ones. >Also, I was surprised to discover that my mm_cfg.py file gets overwritten >with the "empty" distribution version if "make install" is re-run. >I had been under the impression that mm_cfg.py wouldn't be overwritten >in such a case.
