no, all you need is something to handle the VERP bounce messages and
unsubscribe users as required.

a quick search at google reveals that according to the "Life with qmail"
document at http://www.lifewithqmail.org/, Russ Nelson wrote such a
program:

  : Russell Nelson wrote a bounce manager for Majordomo under qmail, but
  : he no longer maintains it. It's available from
  : http://www.qmail.org/bounceman-0.4.shar

it should be possible to adapt it to run under postfix...or just use the
README as a design/ideas document for writing your own (probably a good
idea because it uses one flat file per subscriber address to count the
bounces - on a large list it would be much better to use a simple hashed
db or a postgres/mysql/whatever db)
