Martin, thanks for your suggestion. On the SuSE 8.0 system I'm running, /etc/sendmail.cf is built automatically from /etc/sysconfig/mail and /etc/sysconfig/sendmail. Neither of these seems to have any variable with regard to Max Recipients Per Message. However, the MaxRecipientsPerMessage line in my /etc/sendmail.cf is identical to the one you quoted.
Thanks for your suggestion. I have to wait until Monday to see if the changes I made to rc.init will prevent my problem or not. I changed minnames to 16 from the default 32, and maxnames from 64 to 32. I suspect that I only had to change maxnames, but there seemed to be a relationship between these numbers that I wanted to preserve. This is a once-weekly post, going out to only 1188 subscribers, so this change shouldn't put too much additional load on the machine.
-Kevin

Hi, you've set
# maximum number of recipients per SMTP envelope #O MaxRecipientsPerMessage=100
to very low value. Leave default value 100 in. Setting this value low doesn't help you against the spam anyway. ;)
