However, I'm at a slight disadvantage right now with my development environment. What I think would help would be for some of you to `donate' large blocks of fake addresses, which I could subscribe to email lists of varying sizes. I'd like to create lists of 1k, 10k, 100k, 250k, 500k, and 1M recipients. Do you think between us we can gather 1M fake recipients for a test list?
Well, I'm not sure what number we could easily accomodate, it kind of depends on howmuch mail you want to send there, but I think we can manage something around 100, 200k, at least. Or perhaps I can do even better, setup a dedicated box for this testing and let you swamp away as much as you want -- at worst you'll get timeout warnings, but I suspect you'd want to test those too, anyway :-) The uplink is not the problem, it's solely the load of the machine that might be. We use three different incoming mailservers, for all our customers, so I'm a bit worried those mailman tests would take them out of commision if let run rampant ;-)
I can find an unused box and set it up for this sometime next week... (I'm currently at the SANE2000 conference, sharing a single 64kbit line with 30-some other system administrators... 45 second pingtimes do not create ideal working circumstances, let me tell you :-)
