In recent Postfix releases the SMTP server has supplied an VERP functionality which will drastically improve performance of mail delivery when using in conjuction with Mailman. While the patch was submitted to Mailman developers years ago they does not seem to adopt it. The proposed patch adds the support of XVERP delivery to Mailman when WITH_POSTFIX is specified or choosen in OPTIONS menu. It is disabled by default but can easily enabled with VERP_STYLE = 'Postfix' in mm_cfg.py. This version of patch is what is running at cn.FreeBSD.org's production mailing list. Maintainer (jmelo@) cc'ed. How-To-Repeat: Mailman can not use XVERP extension of the Postfix SMTP server.

In order to exploit the performance gain, one has to choose 'POSTFIX' in the OPTIONS menu, configure postfix with proper smtpd_authorized_verp_clients settings, then add: VERP_STYLE = 'Postfix' to the mm_cfg.py configuration. The Postfix style XVERP delivery is disabled by default.
