Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.5-1
Severity: important

in 2.1.5 Upstream included a new bounce processor. 

It sends a probe after a Bounce-Highscore and resets the Score
afterwards.

the bounce of the probe doesn't seem to be recognized correctly,
so the same loop runs again and again.

It is possible to run Mailman without VERP support in the MTA; just
don't tell Mailman to use VERP. As far as I know, it doesn't do any
VERP-like thing by default; it has to be explicitly enabled in
mm_cfg if you _want_ to use it.

You sure you don't have any VERP settings in your mm_cfg? If you don't
have any VERP settings in mm_cfg and mailman _still_ does VERP-like
things, then please reopen the bug.
