What is the best way around this then with Majordomo? We use the program 
bulk_mailer to group domains together in SMTP envelopes, but larger lists 
with lots of Yahoo addresses for example get rejected due to too many 
recipients. We tried adjusting sendmail max messages per envelope 
settings, but these seem to just reject entirely and not break up the 
envelope...

Ideas?
