  1. > > What would generate the 'Too many recipients.' error?

  2. >

  3. > MailMan ouputs messages with (guesstimate) 100 recipiants per

  4. > message. If the MTA that MailMan is talking to has such a limit,

  5. > you'll get that error.

  6. Isn't this defined in the privacy options under the "Ceiling on acceptable

  7. number of recipients for a posting" section?

  8. max_num_recipients (privacy): Ceiling on acceptable number of

  9. recipients for a posting.

  10. If a posting has this number, or more, of recipients, it is held

  11. for admin approval. Use 0 for no ceiling.

  12. I typically have mine set to 10, which is the default shipped with

  13. Mailman. You can also override the default with

  14. DEFAULT_MAX_NUM_RECIPIENTS = n

  15. in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
