Yes, and for a good long time sf.net at least was not larger than us and
had about 1/10th the performance (I'm not kidding!) They have since got
better, but I'm not sure if it was a software tweak or they tossed more
hardware at it.
The fact that after 3 years Mailman still doesn't have VERP really makes
it sound like the authors aren't doing stuff with big systems. VERP is
__absolutely__ necessary. Any site that can get by without it is either
very young or backed by alot of $$ hardware.
Anyhow, maybe mailman 2.1 will be the magic ticket for us, I'm not sure..
