[Mailman-Users] Mailman's Mailbox

[Gary Smith]

Hi.
 
I don't know much about the techinical stuff behind mailman (I dont have console access, only through the Cpanel software) and I was wondering, how does Mailman know that it has an email, i.e. when someone tries to post to the list. 
 
By that I mean I know I have an email because I download my inbox on to my computer, but does Mailman constantly do this, if it does would'nt it cause a strain on the server? 
 
Hope my question makes sense, thanks in advance for answering.
