Thanks; then considering it is specifically a suggested statement in the
Exim information at:

http://www.exim.org/howto/mailman21.html#exconf

as follows:

" would suggest setting Mailman to send a maximum of 5 to 50 recipients on a
single mail (setting it lower decreases list latency, but increases the work
that Mailman and exim have to do), and change it to send a maximum of 30
messages per SMTP connection. To reflect this you should also change the
exim parameter smtp_accept_queue_per_connection to be 30 as well"

What am I doing incorrectly, and what should I be doing in order to achieve
the required result as above?

Thank you very much.

Regards,

Adrian.
