Yes, as Per said, we're moving some of our really big mailing lists from sendmail+majordomo to qmail and ezmlm+idx. Mhonarc vs hypermail is an unrelated issue; after a lot of configuration fiddling around, I'm happier with mhonarc. (not hard--hypermail is a mess internally) We only have a handful of lists moved so far, only one of them is a big list (the EGCS discussion list with around 700 subscribers). With just this one big list on the system, messages are distributed to the entire list in ~15 minutes. We'll be moving more really big lists to the system in the near future and possibly things will slow down a bit when we have a lot more traffic. I can write a summary to anyone who wants to know how it behaves once we throw more big lists at it. A downside to qmail/ezmlm is that it is very different. Everyone I know is familiar with sendmail and majordomo--no one I know is familiar with qmail/ezmlm. It's been a learning experience. :-) Jason
