Have anyone had problems with nesting email groups in Mailman? The reason I am using nested groups is that I work in a very transient community where we have about 10 email lists and on occasion we need to send a message to all those lists. About every third email sent to an all-users@somewhere.com crashes my server. There are not messages in any of the server logs to help diagnose the problem.

I suggest looking in Mailman's 'post' and 'smtp' and perhaps 'smtp-failure' logs to see if the message is processed through the super-list and all the subordinates. Also look in the MTA logs to see what got to the MTA and what it is doing with it.

I suspect this is not a Mailman issue, but rather the volume of outgoing mail is triggering something else.
