[Mailman-Users] hotmail bouncing

[Jon Carnes]

Some folks on the list have hypothesized that this is due to some spam
rules setup on hotmail servers (but not consistent across all their
servers).

Try modifying SMTP_MAX_RCPTS (in the file mm_cfg.py): 
  # Ceiling on the number of recipients that can be specified
  # in a single SMTP transaction.  Set to 0 to submit the
  # entire recipient list in one transaction.  Only used with
  # the SMTPDirect DELIVERY_MODULE.
  # SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 500
  SMTP_MAX_RCPTS = 5

If that works, please let us know.
