BTW: searching the FAQ for it shows that it was already suggested some while back to set a default of 5 since using a greater number apparently doesn't have much impact on overhead traffic. Must have been lost again or I am using an old mm_cfg.py. Thanks!

Well, this response is not quite so fast, but ... Previously you wrote "So I set SMTP_MAX_RCPT = 5 in mm_cfg.py". I don't know if SMTP_MAX_RCPT is a typo or if that is literally what you set, but it could be the problem as the actual variable is SMTP_MAX_RCPTS. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] SMTP_MAX_RCPT not working?
We have set MaxRecipientsPerMessage=5 in sendmail.cf on our servers to counteract some spammers delivering for dozens of users. The side effect of this is that when sending via mailman to our own clients it takes quite a while because Mailman tries to send to more recipients with each envelope and retries every 15 minutes or so with the ones that were rejected. So I set SMTP_MAX_RCPT = 5 in mm_cfg.py. However, I still see the same problem which means that Mailman seems to not obey this setting. I changed this several weeks ago and all Mailman runners have surely been restarted since then. There's also a .pyc file of the same time and date. Is this a bug or do I misinterpret this setting? I'm using 2.1.5.
