Immediate diagnostics, as others have suggested, involve looking at the logfiles for your MTA and checking that they have actually been "sent". It could be that your network provider has a mechanism for side-spooling/delaying/blackholing email subsmissions to large numbers of recipients. So sending to 20 addresses would be OK, but one you start sending to more than that the email is automatically "quarantined" in the event that it may prove to be spam. Check with your network provider to make sure that there are no "limits" in place that may have delayed your outbound emails. Also check with your local system's mail spool and make sure that the emails aren't all sat in an outbound queue waiting to be cleared/sent.

And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - HHGTTG ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
