apparently, judging from the errors he's telling me about, yes... and using a mailing list (like mailman,...) is out of the skill reach of either the principal or the people doing the admin stuff there now :/ And i'm not really having much spare time on my hands so i'd like keeping the extra stuff that needs to be installed and maintained to a minimum.
and previously - when using the mailserver from the isp (scarlet) the school is connected to as smtp server - this worked (again, according to him) thanks all for the answers, but i don't yet see why he's getting the errors, since - according to the answers above - the related parameter is default set at 1000 ? When i asked him, he said it would be about 250 adresses he's putting in the bcc: field... Michael De Groote ICT-coordinator Sint-Pietersschool Korbeek-Lo ICT-support Sancta Maria Basisschool Leuven PS: for the sake of being clear: i agree TOTALLY that something like sending one message to 250 addresses isn't the way you're supposed to be handling email, but it's not my job anymore to convince him of that fact (it's the new guy's job... i wish him the best). I have a hell of a job convincing my current superiors of the same.. seems like people won't understand the phrase 'this is not the way it is supposed to be used. You should use other tools for this.' => 'WHY???' => 'Because it's not made to do this..' => 'Then i should never have been able to do it in the first place, shouldn't I?' ::: END OF DISCUSSION ::: On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 11:31 AM, Jos Chrispijn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Uit een eerder bericht (21-11-2008 13:41): > > 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. > > Do you CC 200 addresses in one message? > Jos Chrispijn >
