[Mailman-Users] please help URGENT

[Pablo Alsina]

Hi!
	I had a similar problem. It was happening because mailman exceded
the max rcpt per envelope that postfix handles. I solved it changing the
smtpd_recipient_limit at the postfix/main.cf file.

	I think Mailman b3 will handle MAX_RCPT so this don't happens
anymore.

Good luck.
