Configuring a list only consumes some space on the local filesystem. How
many list, .config, .info, and .intro files can you hold?

Majordomo is currently running lists with many thousands of subscribers.
In it's vanilla form (1.94.4), it can be slow to send out all that mail
serially. More a sendmail issue than majordomo's. With the addition of
bulk-mailer, some advantage of parallelization is achieved on larger
lists. I've heard that qmail can also do this, and that the features of
bulk-mailer are built-in to the development (mj2) version.
What I'm trying to say is that the capacity of your machine is much more
dependent on the volume of traffic thru it, not on the size or number of
lists you have defined. And you didn't give any estimate of traffic
volume in your post...

Microsoft has just announced it is renaming Windows NT version 5 to

Is that the ultimate millennium bug or what?
