We have a pool of postfix servers that mostly relay mail from internal applications to user inboxes. One of the application teams is trying to send messages to more then 1000 recipients for a single message. The default smtpd_recipient_limit of 1000 recipients is preventing this. What are the technical ramifications of increasing this limit? Could we cause other issues, exceed memory memory or other resources, by allowing more than 1000 recipients?
FYI, I do not think this is a good idea, do not want to change the default and have already pushed back to the application team. However being a political battle I need to make sure I understand the ramifications should logic not prevail. Eric
