I'm wondering if anyone can provide any ideas, insights or warnings with
respect to this sort of thing?
I think you should firts enquire the debian and python mailing list
managers. They could give you some statistics (CPU usage, Network
used, what hardware,...)
We've got some information in FAQ 1.15 at <http://wiki.list.org/x/NoA9>
with regards to the largest lists that can be run with Mailman, but that
doesn't directly address the issue of tools to do actual load testing.
Myself, I tend to use the "smtpsource" and "smtpsink" tools that Wietse
Venema created (available as part of the standard postfix source
installation, although perhaps not included with binary package versions
from other sources), along with the "postal" tools written by Russ Coker
(see <http://doc.coker.com.au/projects/postal/>).
If you're going to be doing any benchmarking or load-testing, make sure
you read, understand, and follow all the various relevant FAQs in the
Mailman FAQ Wiki, especially in section 6.
