[Mailman-Users] Mailman and (really) large lists

[Jack Stone]

As one stat, one of my lists of 10,000 is usually completed within 24 mins. I usually drop all filter scans during that time, plus I use 20 separate mail queues (sendmail) so too many don't pile up in a single queue and has to start over delaying send-outs. These 2 things have affected my speed more than anything else -- except maybe a custom footer which I avoid using.

Check the FAQ. 15,000-25,000 is only a moderately large mailing 
list, as far as Mailman is concerned.

Check the FAQ. There's lots of good stuff there.
