Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Exim: send separate message for mailing lists

[astraeuz]

Hi,

I've just came across an issue with mailing list on a Linux server. Problem is that when a message is broadcasted from a mailing list having around 1500 subscribers, most of them having @yahoo.com and @hotmail.com addresses, message to most of the recepients fails with following error...

2009-07-09 12:26:25 1MOn2u-0001CB-QJ SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<he***k@yahoo.com>: host c.mx.mail.yahoo.com [216.39.53.3]: 452 Too many recipients

It is becuase exim tries to send a message to as many recepients as it could to users on same domain

On a Windows server, i was running Merak mail server and there was an option to send separate message to all mailing list subscribers, but i don't know where it could be located in exim config, or even if it has!!

Can someone please help me with this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,


You can try to send emails in batches of 250 each if you are facing his issue.
