Well, I have a suggestion. It may not be very good. You can split the big
list into small lists to be kept on other machies at different sites. When
a messages is received, you machine distributes the message to subscribers
on you machine. On the subscriber list of your machine, you could include
other mailing lists on other machies so the message is sent to mailing
lists on other machies. In this way, your system load could be reduced.
