Re: problem

I have contacted my provider. He checked the loggings on his server. There was 1 e-mail address with userx@bmw_net. by changing this to [email protected] (underscore to dot) the problem was fixed. It's strange the system isn't able to recover from such an error and it isn't able to ignore the false e-mail address. I haven't got any alert messages either that there was an invalid e-mail address.
 
anyway,
 
many thanks to dan

I am sorry to hear you sent a command per address to add to your list
when there was definitely an easier way.  Regardless, that is water
under the bridge at this point.  I think you need to talk to your
service provider and ask them if there are any mail restrictions which
might be affecting your majordomo list.  Some providers have limits of
10, 20, or 50 maximum recipients per outgoing message.  Maybe your 200
addresses is exceeding one of these quotas.  While you have their
attention, you could ask for a copy of the aliases associated with
your list too.
