Yes, one would think that, but you do need to set

recipient_delimiter = +

in main.cf, even though the Postfix document doesn't get to that until
much later.

BTW, the Postfix/VERP configuration referred to in the Postfix
documentation is true VERP done by the MTA. What Mailman calls VERP is
similar, but it is done by Mailman by manipulating envelope senders
before delivering to the MTA and is more expensive because it requires
Mailman to send each recipient in a separate SMTP transaction. And,
what Mailman calls VERP_CONFIRMATIONS is a misnomer and isn't really
VERP or VERP-like at all.

No, you don't - this is the default... you only need to explicitly set 
it if you want to change it.
