[Mailman-Users] Huge problem (in my opinion) with large lists...

[Adrian Joseph]

We manage some very large lists with Mailman (v 1.1 currently), about
260,000 subscribers, and one problem (well issue really) is that the
python processes can take so long to perform a member related options
that apache times out. So I've had to configure apache to allow a
timeout of 1200. It may be that you are experiencing a similar problem,
or it may not. Hope that helps. Have fun
