Yes, but it is expensive processing wise. Set mailman's personalize options to
yes and add a custom footer that says something like this: "This message was
sent to %(user_delivered_to)s". It works really well but the trade-off is that
mailman now has to generate a custom message for each recipient, so processing
those messages requires a lot more CPU cycles than before. Not sure if it
is worth it or not. You could turn it on when you need to solve a particular
problem and then turn it off again.
