Assuming your MTA returns a failure code indicating a temporary failure (a 400-series error? someone correct me if I'm wrong...), mailman should drop the message into the 'retry' queue and try again some time (fifteen minutes?) later. Realize, of course, that unless your MTA is limiting by number of recipients, each mailman 'mail' may include several hundred recipients (unless you've turned on personalization. Which, for a 20,000 member list, probably isn't a very good idea). -- - Patrick Bogen ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
