I've recently moved a 50,000 user list from some web-based newsletter
software over to Mailman. This list is purely a newsletter where the users
cannot post messages to the list. First of all, are there any optimizations
I can use for a newsletter-type list? Second, since I've moved to Mailman,
I've noticed a huge increase in load when sending out mail to the list. I'm
currently using sendmail. The system is a 866MHz P3 with 256MB of RAM
running RedHat 7.1. The server also hosts a website with near 2 million
hits a day (about 48% static pages, 48% SSI pages, 4% CGI). Right now the
load average is 0.37, 1.02, 8.45. Its a little high from Mailman doing its
thing.
Any suggestions for a new Mailman user?
Thanks!
