[SOLVED] Distribution list

[chandu]

Hi,

For our new client i am creating around 1600 accounts and they have total 9 DL ids and member count respective to those DL are as below :

Distribution ID1 - 107
Distribution ID2 - 141
Distribution ID3 - 25
Distribution ID4 - 1180
Distribution ID5 - 25
Distribution ID6 - 33
Distribution ID7 - 32
Distribution ID8 - 138
Distribution ID9 - 1001

So this will be mass mailing...and my currrent setting is

[zimbra@mail ~]$ postconf | grep smtpd_recipient_limit
smtpd_recipient_limit = 1000

So what is teh standard member count for DL ? any suggestion ? can i give any suggestion to client OR shall i increase postfix limit to 1500 to fullfill their requirement....
Actually if they send mail to all DL at a time then alos will be problem...

please suggest.

Thanks

Is it a distribution list or a mailling list ? When you are getting to high numbers then you may be better with proper mailing list software eg. Majordomo

Hi Uxbod,

Thanks for reply. This are the distribution IDs.

for e.g Distribution ID4 - 1180
Here Distribution ID4 is nothing but field@example.com where 1180 members are working on field. so if Senior manager want to communicate any message to all field person then he will only send mail to field@example.com.

Pls suggest.

Hi ....

Am a bit confused..

Please clarify if we set "smtpd_recipient_limit" to 50 and a distribution list have more than 60 email IDs added, the mail send to distributions list wont be delivered ?

Regards
Sujith

AFAIK it will deliver the first 50 and then the softlimit will start rejecting the rest with 450 errors. After that it will just hard block them all together.

Hi Uxbod,

Is there any provision to give rights to use the distribution list to some particular users only ??

Means only specific users only should have permission to send mail to Distribution list ID...

Thanks

Did you make all the changes as the root user ? If so, the wiki states

Create a 'permitted senders' list (as user zimbra)

so the permissions on the files will be incorrect.

Hi Uxbod..thanks for reply...

i had below permissions on the files : i have created these files though root :

[root@mail ~]# ll /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/
