I have configured mailman and we're about to start populating a mailing list with almost 20,000 members.
Any special considerations for lists this large?
See Rob Kolstad's paper "Tuning Sendmail for Large Mailing Lists" at
<http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa97/21.kolstad.html>
and Strata Chalup's paper "Drinking from the Fire(walls) Hose: Another Approach to Very Large Mailing Lists" at
<http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/lisa98/chalup.html>.
See also the book _Sendmail Performance Tuning_ by Nick Christensen (see
<http://www.jetcafe.org/~npc/book/sendmail/>). Also note the slides from related talks at <http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/papers/sendmail-tuning/> and <http://www.jetcafe.org/~npc/doc/performance_tuning.pdf>.
A number of these issues have been addressed by more modern MTAs, Mailing List Managers, and configurations shipped with them, but there are still lots of good issues raised.
