well, Exim isn't terribly good at bulk sending, but there are things you can do in Mailman's configuration to help Exim. check out SMTP_MAX_RCPTS in mm_cfg.py -- what is it set to now? I think something like 100-500 would be appropriate. you can also try running "exim -qq" manually and see if the queue runner works better that way. -- regards, Kjetil T. -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
