VERP support in Exim?

[quanin]

I'm seriously considering switching my mailman lists to personalized delivery for more accurate bounce detection, but I can't find out if Exim is by default configured to support it. IE: mailman requires the server be able to support something in the form of [email protected] in order to properly do what I'm looking to do. Does Exim support this? Does CPanel enable this support by default? Can this support be enabled if it's not on by default? Inquiring minds wouldn't mind knowing.

Hello

There is a section on VERP on the following Exim document that you might find helpful:

EXIM - Some common configuration settings

Thank you.

Does CPanel enable this support by default? Can this support be enabled if it's not on by default?

No to the first, and yes to the second I assume. If yes to the second, how? The Exim document did not help.

The Exim document did not help.

Could you elaborate on the specific steps you took to implement VERP after reviewing the document?

Thank you.

None. I had no clue as to what that document was talking about. Specifically, "Typically this is done by setting a local_part_suffix option for a router, and using this to route the messages to wherever you want to handle them." WTF?! Which local_part_suffix do I set? What do I set it to? etc., etc., etc.

I suggest opening a feature request for native support of VERP if you are not comfortable with developing custom Exim rules:

Submit A Feature Request

Otherwise, information about modifying the Exim configuration is documented at:

Exim Configuration Manager - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

You may also want to email the Exim Users mailing list for help from other Exim users about implementing custom rules:

Thank you.
