[Mailman-Users] Limit to the Number of Subscribers for eachlist?

[Brian Carpenter]

It is possible that Bluehost is limiting the amount of messages that are
sent out from your account per hour. This is called smtp throttling and it
is a common practice amount hosting companies. Another issue is that your
mailing lists could simply be on a very busy server that is not able to keep
up with mail delivery. What is troubling is the answer you received from
Bluehost which reveals their ignorance about mailman.

" Then they suggested I find a special
email list provider.  Is there such a thing?"

Yes there is. We offer a special service for those who run mailman mailing
lists. You can read more about our service at

Well, it seemed like a load of bull. Then they suggested I find a special
email list provider.  Is there such a thing?

And how would I find it. You see I am doing this as a charity thing for
about 5 online email groups for debtorsanonymous.org

I thought this should be a no sweat thing since I supposedly can have
unlimited email lists under my premium subscription.

Thanks for the info. I am going to try to get back with them with regard to
this and point them to the url in question for the faqs. Does anyone have a
problem with me copying select portions of your emails on this subject?

Agreed.

First, phplist only does one-way (announcement) lists so if you want a
discussion list, phplist is not an option.

Second, if phplist on bluehost is able to deliver mail to many
recipients faster than Mailman on bluehost, this is a result of
conscious or unconscious configuration decisions made by bluehost in
the installation of Mailman, phplist and their MTAs. It is not because
of any inherent superiority of phplist.
