Betreff: [Exim] Fixing '421 too many recipients' and other forms of queue constipation
Hi there,

I notice a thread
'http://www.exim.org/mailman/htdig/exim-users/Week-of-Mon-20020325/036796.html'
about this problem where someone's sent an email to a huge number of
recipients, many of which are at the same domain, and now none of the
emails are going out cause the remote server kicks the sending server off
having sent none. The gist of the thread eventually settled on the
response "don't do it", and if it were me it wouldn't have been done in
the first place, but the fact is that someone HAS done it and it's now my
job to find some way of getting what's left of the mailing list out
of the door!

Therefore, is there a way of either:

1) restricting the number of recipients at a remote host that exim will
try to send

or (more desirably)

2) take a spooled message addressed to more than one recipient, and split
it into several spool files, one for each recipient?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated :-)
