Your OP implied that you were doing the actual VERP in Postfix. If that
is the case, it should 'just work' without any Mailman changes at all as
long as your VERPed envelope sender for the LISTNAME list message to
user at example.com looks like

  LISTNAME-bounces+user=example.com at list.domain

I.e., Postfix VERP delimiters are '+='. This is parsed by

VERP_REGEXP =
r'^(?P<bounces>[^+]+?)\+(?P<mailbox>[^=]+)=(?P<host>[^@]+)@.*$'


If your VERPed envelope sender is different, you will need to set
VERP_REGEXP in mm_cfg.py to parse it correctly.
