In message delivery, Sympa passes multiple recepients to sendmail ; therefore
you can't use the [user->email] variable in the message.footer.

But we can imagine a way to make Sympa give away grouping when asked to.

1/ If it finds a message.footer.VERP (*)

2/ If a message is sent to <listname>-VERP address.
This alias would look like this :
        mylist-VERP: "|/home/sympa/bin/queue mylist-verp"

Messages received via the channel would be processed like templates.

(*) VERP : Variable Envelope Return Path


In the meanwhile, you can send a user-customized message with the REMIND
command.
