I haven't checked the earlier messages in this thread -- I'm assuming 
you have also done the stuff mentioned in FAQ 4.73 and 6.14?

What is your "SMTP_MAX_RCPTS" setting?  Check both Defaults.py and 
mm_cfg.py.  Also check the value of 
"SMTP_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_CONNECTION".  Then compare against their 
companion values in your postfix configuration.  If you don't define 
the specific companion values in your /etc/postfix/main.cf, then you 
may need to take a look at the output of "postconf -d" and look for 
them.

See also the postfix documentation on these values, especially
