The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

For now, there is no known limit to the subscriber count for a list. There are few data associated to each user, so event with the full list loaded in memory, it doesn't weight much.
Now, you must take into account the distribution load, according to how quick your mail server is. Lists of more than 10 000 subscribers, are often mùoderated, so that you can validate the message distributino in the evening or whenever the load is low on your mail server.

I recently heard of a list with near 120 000 subscribers. It doesn't seem to be a problem.

Note that Sympa 6 introduces nightly sending : you will be able to set a time when the message will be sent, every day, for certain lists.

Is there anyone know what the max subscriber of each list is?
I am going to create a list with 80,000 subscribers. I don't know whether sympa can handle it.

Thank you. Sincerely, Wen Si
