It's hard to say.  What's in your bounce and subscribe logs

My large list (40,000 names) is announcement only and all posts are held (to
prevent the possibility of a spammer hijacking the list). So the Schedule
option is the only one that would work. Simply scheduling when I send the
post would not resolve the problem.

Seems like this already exists with qrunner. [knowing nothing about the

At the same time, drop in a small file containing the time to send (a

Periodically check all these time-to-send files. Ought to be fairly trivial

[Mailman-Users] List performance and server size

2005-07-13 Thread Dave Beckstrom
Hi everyone,

I'm considering Mailman and I have been reading the FAQ and archives in
search of an answer to my questions.

I didn't have much luck and thought I would ask here.

I have a client who needs to send out about 50,000 emails once a month via a
one-way list.

I'm considering installing Mailman on a Dell server with a 2.8 ghz Xeon
processor, 1 GB ram and one 160 GB SATA IDE Hard drive.

The OS would be FreeBSD.

I'm not terribly strong in 'nix but I do have some experience with OpenBSD
and I'm generally good at figuring out new things.

Does anyone foresee any performance problems with my configuration?  Will I
have a lot of trouble installing Mailman on FreeBSD versus some other OS?

Thanks for your help!

For large mailing lists, RAM is a critical limiting factor, to a 
point.  Whether or not your system will have enough RAM is hard to 
say.  I'd be inclined to start with more, if possible.

But it may turn out that you don't need all that RAM.  This is 
one of those things where you take a guess (and you usually try to 
guess conservatively), and if things are obviously too bad then you 
revise the system configuration upward from there.


After RAM, the next most important limiting factor is the disk 
I/O subsystem.

On a busy server, ATA or EIDE drives do not cut the mustard -- 
not even SATA is good enough.  You need SCSI.  Not even with an 
intelligent drive controller will ATA or EIDE cut the mustard -- you 
need SCSI.  An intelligent SCSI controller will be an improvement 
over standard SCSI drives, especially if you can configure it for a 
large amount of battery-backed write-back cache, and the drive array 
itself in a striped/striped or plaid RAID-1+0 configuration.

The only question here is whether or not your system will be so 
busy that the ATA drives hurt you by so much that you are forced to 
replace them.  It's impossible to answer that question a priori -- 
you may have to try it and find out.

If at all possible, I would recommend replacing the drives in 
this configuration with SCSI, but that may not be possible.


You're also going to need an improved filesystem, and FreeBSD is 
a good choice here, with more recent versions having soft updates 
enabled by default.

You also need an MTA configured for maximum performance.  It is 
possible to configure sendmail to extremely high levels of 
performance, but it takes a lot of work to do, and takes a fair 
amount of management to keep it there.  Postfix works pretty well 
out-of-the-box for small to medium size lists, and there are a lot of 
knobs you can tune for further performance on larger lists.

Operating system wise, I believe that FreeBSD is a good choice. 
It is my preferred choice, but of course that's a personal preference.


One thing you generally don't need on a large mailing list server 
is CPU.  Boxes with very slow CPUs but well-designed I/O subsystems 
will run circles around boxes with much faster CPUs but less well 
designed I/O subsystems.


The problem is that pretty much all this information is already 
in the FAQ, with further information in the archives.  So, if you 
searched for performance and you didn't find it then there is a 
bigger problem.

Re: [Mailman-Users] List performance and server size

2005-07-13 Thread Mike Avery
Dave Beckstrom wrote:

The unmentioned things here are, how fast to the emails have to leave 
the server and reach the users and how large are the emails?

If the emails are relatively small, even a DSL line could get the emails 
out in a reasonable time frame.  If they are large, and you have to get 
them out quickly, you could have some bandwidth issues.

While 50,000 emails sounds like a lot, the fact you're only sending one 
email a month means you are probably wasting money throwing a mega 
server at it.

I'm considering installing Mailman on a Dell server with a 2.8 ghz Xeon
processor, 1 GB ram and one 160 GB SATA IDE Hard drive.

The OS would be FreeBSD.

  

At this time, I'm using a 733 pentium III with a 40gig ATA drive and 384 
megs of ram.  Its running FreeBSD 4.8, and it is running IPFW, NATD, 
DHCPD, NTPD, Squid, Apache,  Postfix, and Mailman.  It's hosting about 
12 web sites (some of which are pretty active) and 15 mailing lists 
ranging from small to large (about 1,000), with activity all over the 
place.  Most of the lists are interactive, not announcement lists.  No 
performance issues.  15 mb of ram is still free, and only 147K of swap 
space has ever been used.  We're using a slow 256kbps DSL line.

The big hit is when on the first of the month all our subscribers get 
their Mailman reminders.  The queue is clear before I get into the 
office at 8:00 AM.

Mailman and Postfix installed pretty cleanly from the ports collection.

I think in your shoes, I'd do a test run on a more modest server and see 
what the performance is like, and then look at where the actual 
bottlenecks are.  FreeBSD is pretty friendly about being moved from one 
machine to another... just put your hard drive into a faster machine, 
make sure they have the same NIC and you can probably be running without 
having to change anything.

I honestly suspect that your real performance hit will be list aging.  
 From what I've read and seen, most lists, if they aren't maintained, 
have about 10% of their addresses go stale every month.  That means 
you'll get about 5,000 bounces the first month.  And handling bounces is 
a waste of bandwidth and system resources.  I'd make sure you turn on 
VERP and prune aggressively.  With only one mail going out a month, you 
have to use fairly aggressive pruning settings or the bad addresses will 
never age out.

Look at the FAQs to see how to make Mailman work with your MTA and 
VERP.  It took me about 1/2 a day with Postfix.  (Because the system 
works so well, I don't have to tweak it often, so, despite using FreeBSD 
for years and years and the Mailman/Postfix combination for years, I'm 
still a perpetual newbie in FreeBSD, Mailman, and Postfix.)

[Mailman-Users] Changing the path of cgi-bin

2005-07-13 Thread Forrest Aldrich
I've been asked to change the path from ~mailman/cgi-bin to 
~mailman/something-else, the claim being security (and avoiding skript 
kiddies).Though, with the directory aliasing, I don't see where that 
makes a bit of difference.

In my application, the httpd.conf is embedded such that it's run only 
to serve Mailman (stripped down).   If you have /mailman aliased to 
/mailman/cgi-bin, then renaming it to something else doesn't seem like 
it will make any difference at all.

But alas, I figured I'd ask and get some opinions first.


Thanks

I think what they're trying to avoid are scripts that search for a

scheduling.  You may have to run a scheduling script every hour or so.
 
 
 Seems like this already exists with qrunner. [knowing nothing about the
 internals..] If a message is 'scehduled' toss it into a different dierctory.
 At the same time, drop in a small file containing the time to send (a
 separate file should be lower overhead to open, and should have very
 little data.) 
 
 Periodically check all these time-to-send files. Ought to be fairly trivial 
 to impliment the sending portion. Don't know about the web pages, though.

Hi,

Then you should do it for Mr. LifeTrek Coaching. ;-)  I only wanted to 
say that my (or developers') priority would be lowest if an RFE is 
submitted in SF and it might be better to seek alternative solutions.

Pick a new location of your chosing, move the cgi-bin directory to it,
then edit your httpd ScriptAlias entry for mailman.

Are there any hard-coded dependencies upon the ~mailman/cgi-bin struct.
