Those aren't current.
# Note that your MTA /must/ be configured to deliver such an addressed message
# to mylist-bounces!
VERP_FORMAT = '%(bounces)s+%(mailbox)s=%(host)s'
# The second describes a regular expression to unambiguously decode such an
# address, which will be placed in the To: header of the bounce message by the
# bouncing MTA. Getting this right is critical -- and tricky. Learn your
# Python regular expressions. It must define exactly three named groups,
# bounces, mailbox and host, with the same definition as above. It will be
# compiled case-insensitively.
VERP_REGEXP = r'^(?P<bounces>[^+]+?)\+(?P<mailbox>[^=]+)=(?P<host>[^@]+)@.*$'
