Richard,

This was working before with this config of sendmail.  I am setting it
lower for testing and see if that fixes it.  Do you happen to know where
that setting is for sendmail?

In /usr/share/sendmail/README of the Linux box that runs my Mailman lists I found:


<quote>
confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE  MaxRecipientsPerMessage
                                        [infinite] If set, allow no more than
                                        the specified number of recipients in
                                        an SMTP envelope.  Further recipients
                                        receive a 452 error code (i.e., they
                                        are deferred for the next delivery
                                        attempt).
</quote>

and /usr/share/sendmail/m4/proto.m4 contains:

_OPTION(MaxRecipientsPerMessage, `confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE', `100')

but /etcsendmail.cf contains:

#O MaxRecipientsPerMessage=100

which being commented out presumably doesn't affect operation of the Snedmail instance.

But I am not a Sendmail expert. I've put this back onto the list in case someone out there is.

Thanks for the help.

Joe

You could try setting a lower value for the MM configuration variable SMTP_MAX_RCPTS in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py. The installation default in

Defaults.py is 500 which may be too high for your Sendmail
configuration.
See the comments in Defaults.py
