Mailman "Too many recipients to the message"

[danscott]

Hi,

I have a mailing list with about 10 recipients on it.

Often, a mail is sent to the list where the list is only one of many recipients i.e. A message is sent to 100 recipients listed individually - my mailing list is one of the recipients.

Mailman blocks the posting of the message saying "Reason: Too many recipients to the message". Can someone tell me what number of recipients is too many and if it is possible to increase this limit.

The reason for this is as follows: The mailing list is for my club committee. I have given the address of the mailing list to our governing body, so when they send out emails to all of the committees, the mailing list is only one of many recipients.

Thanks,

Dan

Sorry, a bit more searching found the answer:

max_num_recipients in the recipient filters appears to be the config item to change. I bumped this from 100 to 200 - should have fixed it.
