Yes. The batching is also customizable. I have my mailman batching set to 500. Look at SMTP_MAX_RCPTS. In my case each of the large domains is about 10% of my list population (800 members on my largest list at the moment and 83 have yahoo.com addresses). I'd much rather send a few messages to yahoo.com than 83. alex ------------------------------------------------------ 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
