I am trying to create a Mailman installation with 450 announcement-only

announcement lists. Does anyone have any advice or experience in a setup
like this? Thanks, Michael
For that number of lists, its worth scripting your efforts. Check out the 
contents of $MAILMAN/bin.

For the umbrella lists, make sure you enter the umbrella list address as a 
permitted poster for each of its members.

Make sure that your MTA won't accept email addressed to the lists. Don't 
use mailman reject facilities, because that will cause spam messages to 
bounce back to the forged sender address. Mailman rejects cause MTA 
bounces, so it is better to reject at the MTA level.

Advice?  What kind of advice are you looking for?
	Have you read the Mailman FAQ Wizard entry at 
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showfile=faq01.015.htp? 
Have you searched the rest of the Mailman FAQ Wizard for the word
