	You can have a large number of subscribers on a Mailman mailing 
list -- see 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.015.htp>.

	How Mailman actually goes about the process of handing these 
messages out to the mail servers will depend on certain configuration 
items.  See 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq02.002.htp>.

	Depends on where your mailing list is installed, and how your 
server is configured.  If you install the list on a machine at your 
home, then odds are that your ISP probably *will* care.  You'd need 
to check with your ISP to see what you'd need to do in order to 
upgrade your service so that it allows this kind of thing.

	Alternatively, you could have the list hosted somewhere else.
