3620.0. "Internet distribution lists?" by HOCUS::KCARPENTER (A Voice From the Trenches) Thu Dec 02 1993 15:31

    I have an extensive list of customers Internet addresses that I have
    put into a distribution list, called @EDU.  The format for these names 
    from ALL-IN-1 is:	"[email protected]"@INTERNET
           		"[email protected]"@INTERNET
    
    This naming scheme seems to work fine when I send a message to a few
    addressees.  The problem lately is when I try to use @EDU with 60+ names
    on it.  This has worked in the past even though customers complained
    about having to read through the entore distribution list before
    getting to the message.
    
    I now get a message from ALL-IN-1 within 10 minutes stating:
    
    "ALL-IN-1 was unable to send your message off node posted on
    Message titled: DECnews for Education & Research.
    
    REASON: %EMD-I-SEND_COUNT_EXCE, SENDER re-try count exceeded
    
    Any local deliveries have been made"
    
    
    Are there any ALL-IN-1 rules about the number of Internet addressees
    that can be sent at one time?  
    
    Any other suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    
    Thanks...KC

3620.1Read the book and get more infoFORTY2::ASHMail Interchange Group, ReadingFri Dec 03 1993 13:5914
What has happened is that for some reason Message Router has not been able to 
aceept the message as built by ALL-IN-1. There should be info in the Mail Mgt 
Guide on how to track down the problem, but quickly:

Manager will have had had a mail message showing the .NBS filenames; run 
mrnbsdmp on them;

There should be error messages in oa$mti_err, and in mrerr.inf

That should narrow down the cause of the problem considerably.

btw, no there is no (intentional!) limit.

3620.5What .1 saidSCOTTC::MARSHALLSpitfire Drivers Do It ToplessMon Dec 13 1993 16:3110
The "@INTERNET" syntax is probably just a nicety on your node which is
expanded by Message Router into something like "@DECWRL@MRGATE"
(Try MCR MRMAN then SHOW INTERNET)

But that's all by-the-way; follow Grahame's suggestions in .1 to try and track
down the problem.  As long as "@INTERNET" is understood by your local Message
Router, there's no reason why ALL-IN-1 should be unable to send the mail if
other mail is working fine.
