Re: [Mailman-Users] FAQ 4.12 "What about Verp" as applicable to sending to a relay host
Hello, Ralf, & Mark,. We running now, thanks for the help. I will send out on my large list over the w/e (splitting the membership just in case) and will report how the throttle patch performed. But on a small list we are up, up, & away. I'll look at verp next, don't want to have to tweak anything else so if it's a standalone item to tick on/off as it were, then I'll do that. Lots of nice questions on your list, with nicer answers. no rtfm all the time.

[Mailman-Users] FAQ 4.12 "What about Verp" as applicable to sending to a relay host
Hello, Not that I am going to switch on Verp, but ... I read this, and interesting sums there too. I note that Defaults.py still carries SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500 despite good conclusions in the FAQ based upon a statistical analysis of a large mailing list user base that the sweet spot is likely between 2 and 5. In my case where I am relaying to the isp's smtp server I indeed do have all my posts to one domain and so I presume that a larger value could be appropriate? Given that they limit me to 100 recipients per smtp session it would seem that I should adjust this downwards to <100 (in mm_cfg.py) to avoid breaking this rule. Please tell me that I'm heading in the right direction here. bestest Anne -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
