It still timeouts when adding the large Email addresses to the mailing
list. Also, when the Mailman is running (processing 35,000 Email addresses
2 times), we could not access to the web site:
http://deafdigest.net/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo.cgi/deafdigest_web
Bug in Mailman version 1.0rc3
We're sorry, we hit a bug!
If you would like to help us identify the problem, please email a copy of
this page to the webmaster for this site with a description of what
happened. Thanks!
