My ISP says that multiple recipients on each message is a VERY bad idea and wants to know if there is a way to make mailman send to individual addresses.

or, set
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 1
in mm_cfg.py, but if you're going to do that, you might as well do VERP for better bounce recognition as it will have no additional cost.

My ISP says that multiple recipients on each message is a VERY bad idea and wants to know if there is a way to make mailman send to individual addresses.
Why would that be very bad?? So they prefer 100 seperate e-mails over 1 that goes to multiple people? Yes that sounds much better indeed :-S
Or i don't understand the question?

Considering only things like impact on the mail server, it is certainly better to send one message with N RCPTs than to send N identical messages with one RCPT each, but ISPs tend to view messages with a more than a few envelope recipients as likely spam.
