Hi List
I have a (bit aged) Redhat 9 box (Pentium II/512Mb RAM) running Mailman 2.1.6 with Postfix. Its only has to run a single moderated mailing list sending out one email every day to around 20,000 subscribers.
Sending out the emails is not problem - it works great. The major problem is logging in to approve the email. It (Apache/2.0.40) is so slow that it usually times out with a 500 error after you try and login.
Is there a way of speeding up the web interface? Can I approve postings from the command line?
There is a large archive as they have been running this for around 3 years. Will it speed up if we trash part of the archive. If so how can I trash archived data that is (say) over a year old?
There was a thread on this problem, but it was not really resolved, and that user had 450,000 subscribers.
Any help appreciated.
