Ok Mailmanners; I have one server that is running 14 list and these list are getting bigger by the hour. This is a physically hosted box and is a bit shy on horsepower. Currently running sendmail 8.10 and I can already foresee problems when the list reach the 1000 mark. I am considering Postfix, but this box has Front Page extensions installed. Has anyone else attemped such a deal and what are the problems I am looking at. Mel

What possible relationship would there be between Postfix and Front Page Extensions???!!!???
Aside from the usual problems entailed in converting from one MTA to another (i.e., learning how to port any local peculiarities in setup and config from sendmail to Postfix), I for one would not forsee any peculiarities. 1000 recipients should be well within reach of default configuration with Postfix.
One caveat: if the box is really limited and you are relying on it to deliver other mail in a timely manner, you may see delays of other mail, especially if very many list recipients require multiple attempts before delivery is successful.
