It depends. With completely default settings Mailman will send the mail in chunks of up to 500 recipients per message, but the chunks are grouped in four groups by top level domain with the .com domains in one, the .net and .org domains in a second, the .edu, .us and .ca domains in a third and the rest in a fourth. So there will be up to 4 messages with the .com addresses in one, the .net and .org addresses in another and so on. But, things like personalization and VERP will cause the messages to be sent individually, so 50 messages with one recipient each, and chunks are limited by SMTP_MAX_RCPTS which can be smaller than 500. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
