On the ezmlm list somebody asked if he needed the bigtodo patch if he
is to set up 15 lists with 50K subscribers each, and the lists get
exactly one message/day. I would have thought, no since my P120 box
handles 180K messages a day with no noticable problem. But Russ said
15x50K is hard on a normal qmail queue.

I am not trying to select; just asking for info.
In user friendliness (extension addresses [hence ezmlm support],
syntaxless small config files), nothing beats qmail, so postfix is not
a candidate for me. But it seemed that some people out there expressed
concerns about qmail's scalability, and, not being in the loop, I
wanted to know if their concerns are justified.
