Hello --

I'm looking for advice about sizing a server that will run mailman.  How 
CPU-intensive is this?  We'll be managing up to 50 lists, topping out 
handleing around 1,000 messages a day, with archiving.

What sort of servers are you all using for mailman?  How much memory, 
disk space, what OS are you using?

I'm thinking currently along the lines of an HP/Compaq DL 360 w/ around 
a gig of RAM, but I need to be able to make a detailed argument for what 
we actually need.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Many thanks,

Aaron Bennett
