IMHO, a restart of postfix would probably be in order, too. I know that many settings in my mail server, courier MTA, require a restart of the server after changing them in order for them to take effect. Mark, Brad, etc. I have a question here. Rodrigo says that in his Mailman smtp log, a SMTP transaction to contas for 828 recipients was "completed in 1.705 seconds" Mailman also reports a _temporary_ failure of 450 addresses. Because this is a 4xx class error, can one assume that after accepting smtpd_recipient_limit "rcpt to" addresses, postfix started rejecting each new address with a 452 (4.5.3) error, and that Mailman continued to attempt to send recipients in spite of this? - after which Mailman sent, and postfix accepted, the body of the message? This is the only scenario that makes any sense in light of the reported temporary failure. Is Mailman smart enough to pick up the thread on this and re-send to those addresses which were refused? The only other possible scenario is that the SMTP server bounced the entire message after transmission of the message body was complete, based on an excessive number of recipients. In this case, wouldn't it make more sense for the mail server to return a 5xx (permanent) class error? Inquiring minds want to know. I don't know postfix, and because all my outgoing lists have VERP personalization enabled, this problem never comes up here. -- Lindsay Haisley | "We have met the enemy and he is us."
