Sorry for the misinformation. I was going by some information that I learned on this list about two years ago stating that setting MAX_SMTP_RCPTS to between 5 and 10 will increase parallelism with the MTA. Will exim and postfix both open multiple connections to a remote domain when there are many recipients for that domain on a single message? The Mailman FAQ still recommends setting MAX_SMTP_RCPTS to 10 for performance reasons, but doesn't explain why. alex ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
