Just how many lists can you run on one mailman server on a uniprocessor dell server running linux and have enough left over so when users request to know which lists they're on, your box doesn't come to a grinding halt?
We're considering putting 6000 course/section lists on it plus migrating another similar number of existing lists that used to be sendmail include style reflectors (prone to spam).
I suspect it may be able to handle the lists, but as soon as users request to know which lists they're on, are they going to bury the server?

The short answer is "it depends". The long answer can be found in the FAQ.
