Jeff:
Now I'm confused. In our Febrary mailing to about 4000 email addresses,
many (I didn't count them) came back from yahoo saying 'too many
recipients'. This was the *first* I've seen this message. I just did a
count by domain and we have 441 addresses at 'aol.com' and they are getting
through? How is this possible? We continue to get unsubscribe requests
from ail, so they must be delivered. Domains with over 100 email addresses
include hotmail.com, aol.com, sympatico.ca, yahoo.com, juno,com and
home.com; and only yahoo has a problem at the moment.
Where does the r=50 or r=30 go in older sendmail configs? What's the
format in mc file? I use OpenBSD 2.9; I'm in the middle of planning an
upgrade to 3.0 which includes sendmail 8.12.1; I'd have to go source for
8.12.2; I'm still thinking about that one (or waiting until summer release
of 3.1).
