Hi,
We've been in Lyris Hell for a number of months and are looking to move to another product. Been looking over Mailman and it looks really good.
A couple of questions:
Which version of Python do you recommend running. We have 1.5.2 installed should we use a more recent version? We have a total of 290K members, will Mailman support this? Which MTA do you recommend, We use Qmail on our other server but would be open to using something else for Mailman?
Finally, what's the speed of send out of Mailman v. a Lyris?
Thanks in Advance, Geoff

Yes... with a list of that size you want to use Mailman 2.1 which requires a relatively new Python version. Python-2.1.3 works fine for me.
We have a total of 290K members, will Mailman support this? Which MTA do you recommend, We use Qmail on our other server but would be open to using something else for Mailman?
I prefer to use Qmail, but I'm sure that others will make different recommendations.
Greetings, Norbert.
