Trouble sending messages with large dist file
Hello, I'm attempting to use SmartList to send announcements to ~1700 members. The problems is that, although the list works flawlessly with a dist file containg ~10 addresses, when I use my large production dist file, not everyone gets the message. My own addresses are in the dist file, but I do not receive the message, although some addresses that appear before and after mine do. Does anyone have an trouble-shooting ideas? Thank You, Jeremy Ellington

Watch the queue and log file of the MTA and ensure that the messages are getting passed to it as they should be. IME this is more commonly an MTA problem than a SmartList problem; it's worth isolating it to one or the other first. Roger

You may want to look at what addresses are not being delivered. I have run a bunch of small lists with no trouble but recently started a list with 66,000 names. And for the most part everything works just fine, but some services bounce the mail with a "too many recipents" nasty gram. Mark
