	Size is not your problem, at least not so far as the base Mailman 
code is concerned.  See FAQ 1.15 at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.015.htp> 
for more details on that.

	Now, your hosting provider may have made some changes to the code 
that they're running, or they may be running a version of Mailman 
from someone else (e.g., cPanel) which may have been modified, and 
those modifications may prevent you from running a larger list.

	In that case, you need to talk to your hosting provider, or see 
about getting a new hosting provider.


	When troubleshooting Mailman problems, it's a good idea to start 
with the stuff at FAQ 3.14 (see 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.014.htp>) 
and eliminate all those issues before proceeding to anything else.

	I would also encourage you to use the search function for the FAQ 
Wizard via <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py>, and to at 
least take a look at the full index of all FAQ entries at 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=index>.
