Hello,
My question is, how mailman work�s? When i send a mail to the list - how
many email�s are sent form the list to the receipt�s?
For example: 100 list members -> is there sent one email to all members or
an email to every member?
Referring to Mailman 2.1.x.
If the list is set send personalized mail then a separate message is sent out (passed to the outgoing MTA) for each subscriber, for each posting to the list.
If list is not set to send personalized mail then the same message goes to each subscriber (assuming you are using the default SMTPDirect mail transport) but the number of SMTP transactions to pass a given message to the outgoing MTA will depend on the number of members and the value of Mailman's SMTP_MAX_RCPTS configuration variable (normal install default is 500): check in Defaults.py for more info, assign a different value to it in mm_cfg.py if you need to.
i hope everybody understand my question because my english is not very good.
Better than my German
