I have RedHat 9 running mailman rpm 2.1.1-5 with python 2.2.2-26. I have several lists one has 12 addresses, the others have about 500. I have mailman configured for 100 recipients per message. When I send to the smaller list the messages are always delivered but if I were to send the exact same message to the larger list some receive it but most don't. I get this error message in my mailman smtp log:

This server has been running great until 2 days ago and no changes had been made other than updating httpd to 2.0.40-21.11. What does this error mean, what caused it, and how do I correct it?

I don't have the answer to your question but do you have these list separated into different domains? If so I would like to ask how you did it
Thanks

Looks like youv'e got a problem on your local MTA. You'd need to
take a look at the logs for your machine to see what happened -- maybe the load average was too high and it was refusing connections, maybe the daemon died, who knows?
However, most of these issues are likely to be specific to your
MTA, or your OS. You'd be more likely to get useful help on a mailing list specific to them.
