Hey Todd.
While I'm not really familiar with PHPList, I believe that the mailing
transport software and configuration will be the limiting factor
regarding how fast you can get the emails delivered. I don't think the
list software you use will have any significant impact on efficiency.
The list software submits messages to the MTA (often internally to the
same host), which then queues them up for delivery, which is where your
bottleneck will occur. You'll probably want to adjust
/var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote upwards to be able to send out more
emails concurrently, until you hit a resource limit, such as cpu, memory
or bandwidth.
There are perhaps others on this list with experience sending out large
numbers of messages, and can give more specific recommendations.

Eric,
I'm looking at using either Mailman or PHPList on my QMT. I send out a one
to many (approx 5,000 subscribers) newsletter. Do you have an opinion as to
which of these would work most efficiently? I tried PHPList before on a non
QMT and it seemed that there was a big server load and the email blast took
hours to complete. It could be that I didn't have my email server configured
well (I am very green at all of this). I send out time sensitive information
and would like to get it out to my subscribers quickly. Any thoughts?
Todd

I would try the ezmlm-web list for help
(https://systemausfall.org/mail-archive/?2)
Looks like it'd be a nice addition to QMT. Perhaps this could be
included in a future release of the ezmlm-toaster package.
Thinking long term though, I believe that Mailman is a better choice for
mailing list software though. It's much more robust, and is in active
development (v3 should be available later this year).
For those interested in using Mailman with QMT, I've written a page on
the wiki which explains how to do so:
