Do you get the "552 Too Many Recipients" message in either your Listserv logs or your mail server logs? I recently learned that Hotmail restricts the number of recipients in a message to 25 or less. ListServ's default is 100 recipients and is set by the MAXBSMTP parameter.

If you are getting the "552 Too Many Recipients" message, it is likely that Listserv is pruning what it thinks are non-functional addresses, since the mail server should abort the transmission when it gets that number.

  Need help with massive deletion of subscribers with
  hotmail.com addresses.

  So far, the users of hotmail can receive other email
  without problems.

  Can someone help resolve the problem?


  Thanks,
