Sorry, but I found in the bofh file the following line
maxrcpts 50

I guess this is the limitation. I'll try.

Thank you and sorry for bothering you with this. Is there some
documentation about the path followed by a message when arrives and what
config files are evaluated in each step? It would help me a lot in
debugging this issues.

There is no maximum size of a .courier file. You're likely running into
some other limitation. You'll need to indicate the actual error
messages you're seeing.

Actually there are no error messages. The mail is queued and courierd
get it from the queue but doesn't deliver it to the recipients. The
only error is this mail, received by the sender:

 That's what i got in the maillog:

class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:a_group@mydomain.com.uy"><a_group@ mydomain.com.uy></a> 
 
this is the message i get everytime courier tries to deliver the
message. It's never handled by courierlocal. 
The .courier file for a_group has 51 lines, with one address per line.
I removed the las 5 entries and it works, so I guess there's a limit,
and also guess that the limit is about 50 entries.  Maybe you are not
aware about this limitation, but exists, because after removing some
entries everything work fine again. 
 
Obviously, probably we should run couriermlm, but we don't need all the
mailing list features. For what we need a list of forward addresses is
just fine.
