	There is no hard-coded limit, no.  There may be practical limits, 
depending on the size of the messages, whether or not you allow 
attachments, how long you keep the archives, how big your hard drives 
are, etc....

	What other features?  Disabled in what way?

	If all you want to do is run an announcement-only list, you can 
do that.  You install Mailman, you configure the lists, and then you 
don't make use of any of the other features.

	Depending on how adept you are with computers, this is possible. 
However, a certain amount of talent and skill will be required to 
install it, configure it, and maintain it.

	There are people on this list who could provide consulting 
services.  Alternatively, if you want to host your list somewhere 
else and let them have the job of maintaining the hardware, etc..., 
please see
