The problem is definitely Imail. I've repeated my tests to an external
domain with 10 recipients ( normal email message with multi recips).
Obviously, this can only be tested if you have more than 5 addresses/aliases
set up on a domain NOT hosted by the same imail machine.
A search of the imail logs reveals that the maximum delivery is 5 recips at
a time.
1) using no gateway, the log shows multiple 'rdeliver ... multiple (5) ...'
messages
2) using a gateway, the log shows multiple 'gdeliver ... multiple (5) ...'
messages
NOTE: I had noticed that the mailing lists seemed dramatically slower on
6.04 than they did on my old (and less powered) imail 5.08 machine. I
believe this is the problem.
