So i was going down the rabbit hole of why every outgoing message for a certain 500+ member list is being VERPed, which lead to RoadRunner/Spectrum complaining about too many connections, and I tried to look at the verp configuration:
(venv) *mailman@mail*:*~*$ mailman conf |grep verp [mta] verp_confirm_format: $address+$cookie [mta] verp_confirm_regexp: ^(.*<)?(?P<addr>[^+]+?)\+(?P<cookie>[^@]+)@.*$ [mta] verp_confirmations: yes [mta] verp_delimiter: + [mta] verp_delivery_interval: 1 [mta] verp_format: ${bounces}+${local}=${domain} [mta] verp_owner_notifications: yes [mta] verp_personalized_deliveries: yes [mta] verp_probe_format: $bounces+$token@$domain [mta] verp_probe_regexp: ^(?P<bounces>[^+]+?)\+(?P<token>[^@]+)@.*$ [mta] verp_probes: no [mta] verp_regexp: ^(?P<bounces>[^+]+?)\+(?P<local>[^=]+)=(?P<domain>[^@]+)@.*$
I'm quite confused about why verp_delivery_interval is 1 instead of the default 0, and why verp_probes is no. I did make sure that "Personalize" was set to None. I tried to override them in mm/var/etc/mailman.cfg, but it seems to be having no effect, even after restarting mailman. Is this not the correct syntax: [mta] verp_delivery_interval: 0 verp_probes: yes
Is something else overriding my mailman.cfg setting?
I do have a list:member:regular:footer but it doesn't have any user information in it, so that shouldn't cause it to do the messages individually, should it?
