[Mailman-Users] Mailman Timesout When UnSubscribing, Why?

You'll find several good suggestions on dealing with this in the
archives.  Try using the command line tools to make the change you
want.  If that is too inconvenient, then you'll want to look at setting
up a Ram Disk.

Use the Ram Disk like an ordinary partition, load the lists config
directories into the Ram Disk, then mount the Ram Disk in place of the
lists config directories.  Several admins have done this for especially
large mailing lists.  It works a treat.

Of course, another alternative is upgrade your disk-subsystem and
processor so that disk requests happen faster and complete before the
time-out.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
