I'd set SMTP_MAX_RCPTS to be fairly high, tho not more than 100 (see Chuq von Rospach's notes on the performance impacts and implications of this setting for more typical MX distributions). > Am I suicidal for even trying to handle lists this large on this size > box, or is this even considered a large list? Nahh, you're still will within the happy spot. You'll want a good chunk of RAM and a nice fast IO chain (see the performance notes on the User FAQ), but even minor tuning you should be fine. > Next, my users want the ability to periodically refresh the subscriber > list - they'll actually be coming from an external database.

Don't worry about it. The list of addresses for a message is defined when the message is approved for broadcast. If the list subscriber list changes after that, only subsequently broadcast messages will get the new target list. -- J C Lawrence ---------(*) Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
