Hi, When the limit is exceeded should the sender receive a bounce back email ? You say "find the error" is that the error you are talking about ?
To me it's sounding like I should ask sender to send emails with less than 1000 recipients and limit will not hit. It's too bad there is no way to know a sender has exceeded the setting smtpd_recipient_limit = 1000 thanks. -ALF -Angelo Fazzina Operating Systems Programmer / Analyst University of Connecticut, UITS, SSG, Server Systems 860-486-9075 -----Original Message----- From: owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org [mailto:owner-postfix-us...@postfix.org] On Behalf Of Bastian Blank Sent: Friday, August 4, 2017 11:21 AM To: postfix-users@postfix.org Subject: Re: recipient limit question On Fri, Aug 04, 2017 at 03:12:16PM +0000, Fazzina, Angelo wrote: > Thank you.

Postfix is a MTA, it does not care about headers, like To, Cc, Bcc. It only cares about recipients, which are part of the envelope. > Q2 = how do I search the logs for messages telling me I exceeded the limit ? > what is the postconf entry to check if I am logging this stuff in first place > ? You can't, as it is the clients task to retry with the remaining recipients and it is no hard error. > Q3 = is there danger in increasing limit so senders emails are delivered as > they should be ? What other options are there ? Find the error. But guessing from the subject of the mail in question you really want some specialized mailing list software like Mailman for this task.
