Thanks for your replies people.
So, Majordomo just dumps the message onto the alias and Sendmail takes care
of the rest?
Then this must be a sendmail problem:
----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mx1.isl.is.:
>>> RCPT To:<otrar@isl.is>
<<< 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
otrar@isl.is... Deferred: 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
>>> RCPT To:<oskark@isl.is>
<<< 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
oskark@isl.is... Deferred: 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
>>> RCPT To:<oops@isl.is>
<<< 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
oops@isl.is... Deferred: 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
>>> RCPT To:<omaro@isl.is>
<<< 452 4.5.3 Too many recipients
The list of "Too many recipients" errors goes on and on...
[root@morpheus majordomo]# grep isl.is lists/uppskriftir-listi | wc -l
323
Never the less, does anyone know how I can fix this ? Ie. not send all the
emails to isl.is users in one envelope to mx1.isl.is ?
