Package: mailman
Version: 2.1.11
Severity: wishlist
Tags: sid

As the documentation warn about, using VERP for every mail sent from mailman is
expensive for the server if you have a big list, because Mailman send one mail
per recipient to the MTA (Postfix in this case).
(no talk about If the MTA has something like Amavis...)

As i can breiftly see, this patch [1] adds Postfix's VERP support to Mailman.
Using this patch, the MTA does the VERP job with less effort
