Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to get smartlist (choplist) to pass just one recipient per message to sendmail. I've tried the obvious in rc.init with the following settings:
minnames = 1 # minimum number of names per call mindiffnames = 1 # minimum for maxnames-minnames maxnames = 2 # maximum number of names per call maxsplits = 0 # maximum number of parts to split dist in maxsize = 200000 # maximal disk space to be taken up per mail maxconcur = 0 # maximum number of concurrent sendmail calls
but it just doesn't seem to work. I know choplist is using the configured values to call sendmail because I can see something like "choplist 1 1 2 0 sendmail -t -odb -odq....." in the logs. There are still 3,000-5,000 (for instance @aol.com) recipeints per message getting lumped together. The reason this is a problem is because as an anti-spam precaution, mail servers are rejecting connections from other servers that appear to be spamming and then my newsletter doesn't get delivered to many people. Does have a solutions for getting no more than 2 recipients per message?
Thanks very much!!!

Try setting maxsplits = 1 and maxsize = 0. No guarantees, but I think it will do what you want. As you've set it, maxsize will be used to determine the value of maxsplits, which will then force a larger value for maxnames and minnames.
