This is a courier issue. Courier's SMTP server will only accept n
recipients, and reject the rest with a temporary error. I was also looking
at the documentation to find the value of this elusive 'n'. I could even
swear I had seen it somewhere, but I can't find it now. I'm running the
latest courier, so maybe this feature has been removed. Perhaps Sam can
shed more light on this.
