Hello,
I'm considering installing mailman to serve some very big lists. The biggest has more than 25000 members.
One thing is the subscriber list, visible for subscribers themselves. It is linear, everything on one page and doesn't work well for 25000 members. Another thing is the digest format which triggers a sendmail MIME bug. Be sure to have sendmail 8.9.1 or newer, otherwise you site will explode. :) Even if your sendmail works, you're going to get annoyed messages from administrators of other sites who have an older sendmail dumping core because of your digests.
These are my experiences with a list of about 1000 members. Otherwise, things have been running quite well. Load of the mailing list administrator is still quite high, because we use a strict filter catching all MIME and HTML messages.
