[Mailman-Users] Not all subscribers receive emails

[Matthias Rank]

I could temporarily solve the problem by simply restarting my server. 
Then, for about one whole week, everything went perfectly. But yesterday 
the same problem appeared again. It is not a real solution for me to 
restart my server weekly so does anybody have an idea?
@Mark: Thanks, but SMTP_MAX_RCPTS is already set to 10
