i've had similar experiences after switching large lists from sendmail to postfix. if you have the inclination to experiment with a working setup :-), try building a postfix box and configuring mailman to relay through it. my bet is you would be pleasantly surprised at just how well postfix compares to zmailer for that task. my guess is that, given comparable hardware, there'd be no significant speed advantage to zmailer over postfix...and postfix IS a general purpose MTA as well as being fast. craig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
