Mailman is a fine mailing list manager, and I think it has more functionality and a better security track record than some of the other systems. > and how many mails, do you think can be sent per hour, with the ringt > configuration??? This depends entirely upon the SMTP server Mailman is talking to, the size of your messages, and the size of your outbound pipe. You can deliver on the order of a million messages a day @ 15K/message using a Pentium-200-grade box [1] and a T1 line, and depending on how well your recipients are batched at the same destination SMTP server, you might do significantly better than that. -- -Chuck [1]: Fast disks and adequate RAM are far more important to this than CPU. And bandwidth, of course.
