Some systems can't take that many recipients in one message.

make sure you are running a 1.82 with patches or a 1.89x system if you are
doing this - there was a bug related to reusing smtp connections when
there was parallelism in progress.
} If I have the queue runners set to run every minute, then perhaps 45

This seems very slow...
} Any comments or suggestions ?
Run a named/bind process on the mail system to cache the DNS data.
The list box which runs the exim list (around 300 people) is a P75 running
Linux with 24MB RAM. It has the input message split by the list MLM (this
speeds up the routing dramatically) into something like 6 chunks. I have
just looked at the queue, and the last message injected (8 minutes ago)
has delivered to all by 2 recipients (and those have been causing problems
for a while).
