Thanks Jim. You may be right that the MTA caused some problems as indicated in the logs this time. I'll definitely look into that as a possibility, but I am not sure that it is the reason for the original problem. This server was the MTA for the entire campus in it's previous life, but now supports mailman only. We attempted three different times to send to one of these lists and the result was the message going to the same people from the list each time. If this were caused by a disconnection problem with the MTA, I would expect perhaps a different subset of subscribers would not get the messages on each occasion. Thanks very much for your response.

You probably need to tweak tweak your MTA settings to make it more optimized. -Jim P. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/bryan.daniel%40ucfv.ca Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
