These seldom went over a few hundred per list per week, so it didn't actually take all that long. kind of a fri or mon morning-over-coffee task that I always suspected could be automated, but in-the-end, was a thing that really was best handled by someone who cared about 'delivering the mail' ! (aka, the postmaster's job). fwiw. --chipper ------------------------------------------------------ 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
