In cPanel, the Mailman installation is usually in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman (see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/display/DOC/Mailman+and+CPanel>) If you have access to that directory, you can look at the file /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py for settings like VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL = 1 which would cause every message from mailman to be sent individually with an envelope sender containing an encoding of the recipient, and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS which sets the maximum number of recipients per SMTP transaction for messages which aren't VERPed or personalized. You can read more about these settings and their default values in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/Mailman/Defaults.py. Note that even if SMTP_MAX_RCPTS is less than 200 or VERP is enabled on all messages, if the outgoing MTA rejects the messages beyond the initial 200 recipients with a permanent failure (5xx status). These rejects will be recorded as bounces and that message won't be delivered to those recipients. >Messy. >My final question: The managers of my hosting say that they make available >but don't support Mailman. Is there a "default" set up; the likely >installation; for Mailman Ver 2.1.14 on a Cpanel Ver 11 site/hosting? I have no idea. The cPanel installations I have seen are pretty much default in these respects which means no VERPing, no personalized deliveries and SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500. The real issue however is what does the MTA do with a message with > 200 recipients. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
