The Recipient Filter max_num_recipients has nothing do do with how many
list members a post can be delivered to. It is the maximum number of
addressees in To: and Cc: in the incoming message to the list that is
allowed without holding the message for moderator review.

You may have a problem with the MTA accepting messages with a large
number of envelope to addresses. You may want to look at
SMTP_MAX_RCPTS in Defaults.py and perhaps set it to a LOWER value in
mm_cfg.py.

Also search the FAQ as Brad suggested in another reply.
