<TITLE>Problem with Large Mailing List (431)</TITLE>

<FONT FACE="Lucida Sans">Hello<BR>
<BR>
I have a rather large mailing list, I’m also a new Mailman user. I work for an ISP, and a couple of the organizations we host have had problems with Yahoo! Groups, so we have setup Mailman for them.<BR>
<BR>
The group in question has around 500 members, which seems like kind of a lot to me. I’ve noticed a lot of errors in the log file like this one:<BR>

Jun 14 14:50:41 alice courieresmtpd: error,relay=::ffff:127.0.0.1,from=<haitireport-admin@haitireborn.org>,to=<marthag@bestweb.net>: 431 Too many recipients.<BR>
<BR>
---- snip-snippety<BR>
<BR>
Is this a problem on my end, do you think? I’m running Mailman on Courier, and to me this looks like a message from the SMTP server my machine is delivering to. Is there anything I can do about this?<BR>
<BR>
The second problem I have it with using the same instance of Mailman for several domains. I was thinking that this would be easy, but I’m having problems with the GID used to execute the mail scripts. When I compile, it seems like no matter how many GID’s I list in the “--with-mail-gid” switch, it only uses the first one. So if mail comes in for another domain, it can’t exec the script.<BR>
<BR>
Is there any way to get around this?<BR>
<BR>
Any help you may have would, honestly, be very much appreciated.<BR>
<BR>
Thank You,<BR>
