I'll leave the rest for other folks to answer, but I'll say something
about the resource issue... Mycroft.GreatCircle.COM is a Sun 3/60
(about 3 MIPS) running SunOS 4.1.1 and Sendmail 8.*, connected to the
Internet via a 9.6 kb/s dialup link. There are 22 mailing lists here,
with a total of over 4000 subscribers, and a total list volume of
something like 1000 messages per month. The biggest of these, the
Firewalls mailing list, has over 1700 subscribers on it and accounts
for about 400 messages per month. Majordomo here handles some 1500 or
so requests (each of which may contain multiple commands) per month,
on average.
I have no performance problems with Majordomo. I generally don't even
notice it running on the machine, and this is my main work environment.
