yes it is... thanks! :)
All this stuff has changed in the current codebase, available via CVS. The old bulkmailer stuff is gone and Mailman now has two ways to hand a message off to your MTA: either by calling sendmail (or a sendmail compatible program) via the command line, or talking asynchronously (no-DSN) via SMTP. All these means that the handoff of messages from Mailman to your MTA happens very quickly. ah very nice ... i think i'm going to test out the cvs version on my pc at home... do all the python lists use this codebase too?
ported to the new codebase and added back in. The neat thing is that with the current architecture, a site could choose any one of these delivery modules, as appropriate for their system (or easily implement their own). ah even better !
btw i noticed some speed improvement when i switched from exim to postfix... I think i've tried out almost every possible MTA, but it seems postfix does it's best on a not-so-powerfull server with mailman.
