This is a feature in MM 2.1. From Defaults.py

This feature doesn't yet exist in Mailman 3.

FWIW, Yahoo/AOL are not currently redacting the recipient address, but
it may not be the address the message was sent to if intermediate
forwarding is involved. Also, Hotmail is not currently redacting the
recipient address. Personalizing deliveries and putting the recipient
address in the msg_footer seems to work well for non-digest messages.
