This may seem a little bit strange a question. How do you know if your mail
sent through Mailman is getting to all members of your particular list.
If you check your logs, that will tell you what has made it off your
machine and has been accepted by the remote systems. Beyond that, you
can't be sure that any of those recipients have actually seen the
message in question. The only way you can be sure is if they respond to
the message.
I
suspect the problem might lay with the anti-spamming rules of the server on
which I operate - they only allow so many messages to be sent through a mail
box each hour. What I don't know is how Mailman reacts to this, does it
process according to the server's anti spam rules or does it just roll over
and die, not completing the task?
It depends on how they implement their restrictions. If they issue 5xx
permanent errors, then Mailman will consider those recipients to have
bounced. If they issue 4xx temporary errors, then Mailman will retry
those messages at a later time.
But if you're already running into limits being placed on you by your
service provider, you're already in a pretty bad place. I would
encourage you to find another provider who does not place such limits on
you, or who works with you to ensure that everything works the way it
should.
