The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Giorgio Donnini <address@concealed>]

We still have an old version of sympa (5.4).

We have a few list over 50000 people, there's one list of about 120,000
addresses, but they  are all internal so we can send them in groups of
1000 people at time, and it takes about from two to four minutes.

We have a smaller list (about 15000 addresses) but they are spread all
around the world, so it takes much more, about fifteen or sometimes even
twenty minutes.

But they are all informational lists.

Best regards
 Giorgio Donnini
