Hi Jurgen: What is most likely happening is your host is limiting your hosting account to only being able to send out 250 e-mails per hour. This is a very common practice among web hosts. If this becomes a problem, then you can move your list(s) to our mailman service. We do not impose such limitations on our mailman clients.

Mailman doesn't do this. You can set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 250 in mm_cfg.py to make sure that no single SMTP transaction sends to more than 250 recipients, but Mailman will still send to all 750 members with as little delay as possible. It would be possible to modify Mailman/Handlers/SMTPDirect.py to keep track and not send to more than 250 recipients per hour, but that might result in large backlogs. Anyway, would this be your Mailman installation or the host's? If it's the host's, there's nothing you can do and what they seem to be telling you is they won't support lists with more than 250 members or more than 250 (posts X members) per hour. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
