There's no builtin limit.  Lists up to a few thousand don't present any
serious problems.  Any bigger than that, and you have to carefully tune
your MTA and Mailman in concert.  See the FAQ at

  http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=index

for tuning information (section 6 -- currently only Exim and Sendmail
are described).
