I've run postfix (instead of sendmail) with rather
good results; I had a small (2000) member list a
while back that I was administering; it cut the average
delivery time by several minutes. I think a bulk of the
time savings had to do with delivering multiple names
at once to the same domain (like aol.com); I can't say
I really understood how it all worked... only that it
was quite a bit faster.

I've been running mailman instead of majordomo; but
I think that it is slower... but maybye this is my
imagination. Isn't majordomo perl? There has to
be a list server written in C somewhere....

I guess it would be good to look at
memory/cpu usage during a period when
several messages hit at once. I'm not
sure how to best monitor this...

How big is the list? 20,000 ?
How big is the pipe? Does it go
directly to two or more backbones?
Wish I could help more...
