Is this a function of mailman or sendmail?
Well, it's a function of both. Since usually the messages being sent out are identical (unless you're using 2.1b and have personalization turned on), mailman gives multiple recipient addresses to the MTA at once. This is done by specifying RCPT TO multiple times (if using SMTP); it saves work on the part of both mailman and sendmail. You can change the maximum number of recipients; see the following excerpt from Defaults.py (mailman 2.0.13) # Ceiling on the number of recipients that can be specified in a single SMTP # transaction. Set to 0 to submit the entire recipient list in one # transaction. Only used with the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE. SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500 Hope this helps, Jeremy ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
