Yes. By default Mailman will send to up to 500 recipients in one SMTP
transaction. Your MTA is not accepting that many. Your Mailman
smtp-failure log and your MTA logs should have entries telling you
this.

Set

SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 10

in mm_cfg.py and see if that helps.

So it is apparently something to do with the size of the list and in
turn, presumably the number of recipients to a single SMTP message.

What's in Mailman's smtp, smtp-failure and bounce logs? And what's in
the MTA logs relating to the message which mailman sends?

[Mailman-Users] Only One List Is Not Working

[Carlos Williams]

I have several mailman list on my Postfix server and all work as far
as I know except for my most important one which is called "everyone"
at example.com. This list goes out to everyone who has an email
account on my Postfix server. I created some test lists today and just
to make sure that mailman was not broken and they all worked. I tried
sending email to some smaller lists and they all seem to work so I
don't know exactly what to do to determine why my everyone list is no
longer going out. I am the administrator for everyone and when anyone
sends stuff to the list, I never get any emails that anything is
pending and when I login via HTML interface, I don't see anything.

Are there any tips you guys can suggest I do for troubleshooting or
perhaps providing some information that could help me understand why
simply one of my lists is not working?

I checked /var/log/mailman/error and really don't know much about
mailman except how to install it and mildly maintain it as far as list
creation and deletion.

Thanks for any assistance!
