@Ruben: If that doesn't make it obvious what you need to do, you might want to tell us something about your configuration and use case. What version of Mailman? Did you install as a package from a distribution or from the source code? If from a distribution, which one? How big are the lists (number of subscribed addresses, maximum size if there are several, and sizes can be order-of-magnitude like tens, thousands, hundred million)? How many such lists? As Mark says, you still should be able to move up to 100,000 messages/hour with modest hardware under normal conditions. You normally have to have a huge backlog (thousands of individual messages in the outgoing queue) to see significant slowdown -- a couple of hundred should clear within a few minutes. Note: one post typically translates to several outgoing messages, up to the number of enabled subscribers for a list with full personalization. Are your lists configured for personalization (eg, per-user information such as subscription management URL in the footer)? ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
