Thanks to both.
The trick with VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 did it. I thought that this
variable was for another purpose.

Actually, in 2.1.5 VERP_CONFIRMATIONS only affects mass subscribe
invitations by putting the confirm token in the reply address and
creating a friendlier Subject:.

You don't need to personalize the list in order to use VERP. Set
VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1
to VERP all regular deliveries, personalized or not.
Read the VERP section in Defaults.py for more information.
