  That violates RFC-821, I'm pretty sure.  I seem to recall it
requires implementations support at least 100 recipients.  It seems
like <@yahoo.com> is the new <@aol.com> -- don't expect your mail to
work if you use it.

  You could try

	define(confMAX_RCPTS_PER_MESSAGE, 5)

but I'm not sure that will do what you want.
