Can someone refresh my memory on how LISTSERV bunches recipients into notes
going to MAILER and then onto the rest of the world?  I know it tries to
bundle as many users as it can into the same note, but I thought under some
conditions it limited the number of recipients per note to five, sending
multiple copies of a note to the same node if necessary rather than sending
to more than five users at a time.
 
I think this is tied to listing names individually instead of "Multiple
recipients of list ....", but I forget what determines that, too.
 
Right now, IRISHVMA has a couple of local lists with about 100 recipients
on nd.edu.  It looks like it's trying to pump through one message to nd.edu
listing all 100 recipients, and for some reason, (X)MAILER 2.10 is choking
after 92 or so recipients consistently.  As a work-around, I'd like to tell
LISTSERV to go to five-recipients- per-package mode for these lists, but
I've forgotten how to twist the list definitions or LOCAL SYSVARS.
 
Thanks,
Nick
