Well, after a couple of hours, they got through by pieces. Every now and then (that is, following some strategy, surely) OpenSMTPD tries to resend. The relay accepts a few (respectively: 15, 17, 50, 20, 25, 14) and rejects the rest with 'too many recipients' again, which leads to 'host temporarily disabled', and a disabled route. After a timeout, it enables the route again, tries again, some more get through, etc. They are all sent now. Jan
