Look in the smtp-failure log for a more informative message including a reason. What is happening is the outgoing SMTP server (MTA) is accepting only a fraction of the recipients. The rest are queued for retry. Some more recipients are accepted on the retry, and the rest are queued, and so on. It may or may not help to set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to a number smaller that the number that gets accepted each time (in mm_cfg.py), but first get the reason from the smtp-failure log. The best solution depends on the reason. It may be that something in the outgoing MTA needs to be changed. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
