It's not hard coded. It's in the settings for VERP_FORMAT, VERP_REGEXP, VERP_PROBE_FORMAT, VERP_PROBE_REGEXP VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT and VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP, and it defaults to a '+'. >Qmail, for example, >defaults to using a minus as a delimiter; are you saying VERP can't be >done with qmail, either? I didn't say Mailman's 'VERP' could or could not be used with any MTA.

Something may need to be tweaked, but I can't >believe it's not *possible*. And if you use '-' does [EMAIL PROTECTED] get delivered to listname or to listname-bounces or listname-bounces-user? If you can arrange for your MTA to always deliver it to listname-bounces, then there is no problem with using '-' as a delimiter. >> What do you mean by this?

Prior to Mailman 2.1.6, VERP_CONFIRMATIONS applied only to invitations and not to other confirmations. >> Only if you truly need the VERP delimiter to be other than '+'. > >Yes, I truly do. Then you can set VERP_FORMAT = '%(bounces)s~%(mailbox)s=%(host)s' VERP_REGEXP = r'^(?P<bounces>[^~]+?)\~(?P<mailbox>[^=]+)=(?P<host>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$' VERP_PROBE_FORMAT = '%(bounces)s~%(token)s' VERP_PROBE_REGEXP = r'^(?P<bounces>[^~]+?)\~(?P<token>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$' VERP_CONFIRM_FORMAT = '%(addr)s~%(cookie)s' VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = r'^(.*<)?(?P<addr>[^~]+?)\~(?P<cookie>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$' in mm_cfg.py where '~' represents the delimiter you want to use, but if that character is '-' the *_REGEXP settings will need further tweaking to avoid matching the '-' in listname-bounces and listname-request. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
