  • Is there a RCPT limit for submission?

    From John Levine@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 10 22:25:45 2024
    When I'm sending a message to a lot of people via submission to
    127.0.0.1:25, is there a limit to the number of RCPT TO commands per
    message, or the number of messages I can send per session?

    In the FM I see the confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE parameter for max message
    size, and outgoing limits like SMTP_MAILER_MAXMSGS but not those two.

    (If it's in the documentation and I missed it, after you tell me I'm
    stupid I'd appreciate more hints on where to look.)

    Note: please read the netiquette before posting. I will almost never
    reply to top-postings which include a full copy of the previous
    article(s) at the end because it's annoying, shows that the poster
    is too lazy to trim his article, and it's wasting the time of all readers.

    Huh, I could have sworn I grepped for something like that.

    Any limit on the number of messages per session? If it's there
    my greepage skills have failed again.
