[Mailman-Users] Problem with Large Mailing List (431)

Title: Problem with Large Mailing List (431)

Hello

I have a rather large mailing list, I’m also a new Mailman user. I work for an ISP, and a couple of the organizations we host have had problems with Yahoo! Groups, so we have setup Mailman for them.

The group in question has around 500 members, which seems like kind of a lot to me. I’ve noticed a lot of errors in the log file like this one:

---- snippety-snip

Jun 14 14:50:41 alice courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:127.0.0.1,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 431 Too many recipients.

---- snip-snippety

Is this a problem on my end, do you think? I’m running Mailman on Courier, and to me this looks like a message from the SMTP server my machine is delivering to. Is there anything I can do about this?

The second problem I have it with using the same instance of Mailman for several domains. I was thinking that this would be easy, but I’m having problems with the GID used to execute the mail scripts. When I compile, it seems like no matter how many GID’s I list in the “--with-mail-gid” switch, it only uses the first one. So if mail comes in for another domain, it can’t exec the script.

Is there any way to get around this?

Any help you may have would, honestly, be very much appreciated.

Thank You,
