an update:
getting these errors in logs/smtp:
Jun 09 15:35:26 2000 (26086) smtp for 5040 recips, completed in 5153.574
seconds
Jun 09 15:35:26 2000 (26086) All recipients refused: please run connect()
first

and these in /var/adm/messages:
Jun 9 15:35:26 penguin postfix/smtpd[26036]: too many errors after RCPT
from lo
calhost[127.0.0.1]
Jun 9 15:35:26 penguin postfix/smtpd[26036]: disconnect from
localhost[127.0.0.
1]

any idea why postfix is giving up? all lists will have bad emails so i
don't understand this behavior. also why is it taking SO long for mailman
to process these lists?
