It's true, listproc does what it does faster. But I would argue with any
claim that it delivers the mail faster. MJD hands off the message to the
local mail transfer agent. If the MTA is sendmail, delivery will be pretty
slow. If the MTA is qmail (also free), delivery will be quite fast, I
believe as fast as listproc, listserv, or any other multithreaded mail
delivery system, since qmail is as multithreaded as any.
I would expect that there are usually far more messages delivered than list
management actions done, so that for the stuff that you care about, MJD can
be as fast as any other list manager.
