Re: BUG #5012: mailing list VERP addresses not sender-verifiable

AFAIK exim generates a bounce to test the address, and for that I'm
getting a reject saying that the user is unknown for the VERP address.

Aug 26 04:02:05 hostname exim[70819]: H=3Dmx1.hub.org
[200.46.208.106] sender verify fail for <pgsql-announce-owner+M1580=3Dphoem=
ix=3Dharmless.hu@postgresql.org>: response
to "RCPT

from mx1.hub.org [200.46.208.106] was: 550 5.1.1
<pgsql-announce-owner+M1580=3Dphoemix=3Dharmless.hu@postgresql.org>:
