i have a very simple postfix setup running at school.
now the principal wants to send mails to all the parents that
registered their emailaddress and signed on for a newsletter every
week. This causes him to get a 452: 4.5.3 Too many recipients.
I tried setting the default_destination_recipient_limit = 250
(instead of the standard 50) but it doenst work. I'm probably trying
the wrong parameter here, but since i left that school at the end of
last year - but they still call me for support - i don't really have
a lot of time to spend searching for a solution on this one.
This isn't a Postfix issue; it's a mailing list management issue.
You need to use proper mailing list software instead of trying to send
it as a single email with all the recipients in the Bcc line (or, worse,
in the To or Cc).
There are three main options here: Either purchase dedicated software
which runs on Windows (simplest, but comes at a cost), or install
something like Mailman or majordomo on a Linux/BSD box (free, and easy
enough if you have the necessary skills but not something for a beginner).
Can someone point me in the right direction here please?
