Do you mean you have set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 10 in mm_cfg.py. That would
limit the maximum number of recipients in one SMTP transaction from
Mailman to Postfix to 10. Other settings such as VERP_DELIVERY_INTERVAL
could reduce that further, but it would never be more.

This doesn't seem to be a Mailman issue, but if I were trying to
diagnose it, I'd look at all the Postfix log entries for such a message,
and I'd also determine if this is a single domain returning this error
or multiple different domains and since it is a 4xx error it should be
retried, and what happens on retry?
