How many abonents mailman can handle ?
Hi,
I would like to create newsletter mailing list with ~3,2mln abonents.
The question is, can Mailman handle it ? Will it be possible to import via command line such a big amount of users ?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Cheers Konrad

Ours choked on a few thousand, we ended up importing them in smaller batches.

See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030518>.
The answer depends on the server and supporting infrastructure. E.g., how long will it take to process messages to 3.2 million recipients through the MTA; will the Python qrunner processes be able to acquire enough memory to handle a 500 MB (about 150 bytes per user) list configuration.
Some have found it helpful to divide a very large list into several smaller lists.
