[Mailman-Developers] looking for stats

[Ken Manheimer]

Hi, all.  I'm going to be presenting a paper on mailman at the python
conference in a couple of weeks, and i'd like to be able to answer the 
inevitable questions along the lines of, "how big a list is being run
with mailman?"  So i'd like to hear from you if you think you have
some really big lists, or an otherwise interesting situation where
you're using mailman.

(I just ran the mailpasswds script by hand, with some gratuitous
printing to see how many distinct subscribers, and we have around 2000
valid, distinct recipients, distributed over 33 lists.  The largest
individual list is probably jpython-interest, with around 450 members.
Hmm - on a sparc 5 running solaris, the passwords job took around 1
hour to run - with 15 seconds total for doing the consolidation of all
subscriptions for each address, the rest for sending out the notices.)
