There are corresponding configuration options in Mailman and Exim, where you need to make sure that the batch size used by the former is less than the limit set for the latter. In your mailman configuration (we use a mailman-extra.cfg in our deployment to selectively extend the default mailman.cfg) add a `[mta]` section with a `max_recipients: some_integer_value` line. This value needs to be explicitly less than the `smtp_accept_queue_per_connection` global setting in your exim4.conf file. It seems to me that the config option in Exim is poorly named and documented, as I've observed that batches of exactly `smtp_accept_queue_per_connection` result in queued processing rather than immediate delivery, which is why `mta.max_recipients` must be strictly less, not set equal to it. Hope that helps! -- Jeremy Stanley
