Default Mailman settings use a VERP delimiter of '+', not '-'. It is
not practical to use '-' because of conflicts with the listname-*
addresses (although I don't know much about Postfix so I may not be
correctly understanding what recipient_delimiter does).

What do you mean by this? Do you mean that password reminders and
subscription invitations/confirmations are not VERPed?

Note that the above settings will not cause posts to be VERPed unless
the list also has personalization set to Yes or Full. In order to VERP
non-personalized message delivery, set

VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1

Only if you truly need the VERP delimiter to be other than '+'.
