Depending on how your MTA is configured and how heavily loaded your server is the MTA may refuse a particular connection attempt if, for instance, it has reached its concurrent connection limit or the load factor on the machine exceeds specified limits.
Thanks Richard!!! :)
I'm using Postfix and had "smtpd_recipient_limit = 50" I changed it to 500 and the e-mails were distributed!!! :)
Your alternative is to assign a reduced value to the SMTP_MAX_RCPTS Mailman config variable in $prefix/Mailman/mm_cfg.py from the default value of 500 assigned in $prefix/Mailman/Defaults.py. A number of contributors to the Mailman lists and the FAQ have suggested the default of 500 is too large and there is no performance advantage in it being set so high, for example see:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq06.006.htp
I am a little surprised that Postfix apparently did not gracefully terminate the attempt to send the message to too large a number of recipients and seems to have just dropped the connection to the client. But I know not wot of Postfix.
thanks again!
Juan
