I added about 150 users to the list, I mistakenly had the "send subscription confirmations email" option set to true, so I got 150 message, I assed them without a welcome message.
I did not wait for all 150 user confirmations to hit my mailbox before sending a mail out to the list, after sending this mail, I got th remainder of the confirmations.
So, what happened....
1.....did everyone in the mailing list get it
2.....did everyone whom I had gotten confirmations for get it.My test email address got it, but it was already subscribed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,
I've never assed my users, but I reserve the option to do it in the future if needed. Of course I will more than likely send them a welcome message when I do. :)
As for questions 1 & 2, it is all in the timing. Presumably all 150 users were subscribed before the first notification went out to you. Therefore it is safe to say that they also received the first post from you.
Cheers,
-Jim P.

Thanks, Im thinking that's the case as well, sorry for the typos. I'm cursed by a co-worker.
As a more general question, does mailman work in surges? It seemed like I'd get mails to the list immediately, and then the administrative ones in blocks. Any comment from more experienced users would be welcome.

Hi Chris,
Mailman has a qrunner process that runs every minute, so as long as your MTA can keep up you should be fine. Admin notices are configured via the web interface to go out immediately or once a day. I run ~25 lists and I have never seen a difference in delivery times for list mail versus admin mail, even if admin is a list. Out of the box Sendmail doesn't handle bulk mail delivery too swiftly. I use sendmail but have it spawn a dozen queue handlers in addition to the inbound handler. This dramatically increases its ability to move mail.
On another note, Rekonstruction looks very promising... minor concern for the Wil effect though. ;)
