[Pkg-mailman-hackers] Bug#272487: mailman: Problem solved: doesn't use VERP

[Cord Beermann]

Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-8
Followup-For: Bug #272487

Hi.

This problem was caused because i wasn't aware that i had to use VERP
to make it work.

After switching it on in the MTA it works as expected.

You should note that mailman uses VERP-Mails to sent out
Bounce-Probes, and if it not possible to run Mailman without VERP you
should really stress the fact in NEWS.Debian or something.

Else mailman will still work, but automagic bounce-processinmg and
unsubscribing won't work.
