I am moderating a list with 4200 members. Clicking on any link is extremely slow. I have asked that our server be upgraded, but I was told that the problem is with the mailman software. They claim that every time I try to perform any action mailman scans through every user. I have no ability to verify the validity of this claim as I don't have access to the server.
I desperately need a fix to this problem. I just clicked on the link to the admin interface and it took 19 seconds. That's partly due to the fact that I just let three mails through, so the server is sending 12,000 e-mails. But even when it's not sending e-mails it takes at least 10 seconds. Given the simplicity of the admin interfaces it ought to be lightning fast. Due to the slowness of the mailman interface I can no longer afford to send custom reject messages - I just discard all mails that I don't want to get through. I consider this to be rude to those subscribers who sent their e-mail in good faith even though it was not topical. Please let me know if you can think of a fix or troubleshooting steps for me to recommend. - Brian ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://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: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
