Depends on how your mailing lists work. If the expansion is done inside
Exim (via a forwardfile), there is no problem:
recipients_max
Type: integer
Default: 0
If this is set greater than zero, it specifies the maximum number of
recipients for any message. This applies to the original list of recipi-

ents supplied with the message.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are expanding outside Exim and passing it messages with lots of
original recipients, then it will have an effect.
