In addition to what Stephen said, VERP_PROBES requires that your MTA be configured to recognize address local parts of the form listname-bounces+token and deliver them the same as listname-bounces (In Postfix, 'recipient_delimiter = +') or to use a different delimiter that VERP_PROBE_FORMAT and VERP_PROBE_REGEXP be adjusted. Since we can't rely on that, and since if it doesn't work, no one will ever have delivery disabled or be removed by bounce processing, the default is No. When this feature was first implemented in 2.1.5, it was always on. It was soon realized that this was a mistake and in 2.1.6 it was controlled by a switch and defaulted to off. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
