Hi mailman-users@
When I created a petition signature collection site, mailman worked fine
for my small list:
http://mailman.berklix.org/mailman/listinfo/votes-sign
Others since on this list asked if Mailman can support large lists
(real mail lists, not petition signature lists as I unusually used
Mailman for), (with answers inc. "How long's a piece of string?",
aka "What's your back end SMTP capability?" etc).
I can't provide insight on Mailman loads, but see a custom big petition
list just crashed under load (no idea what software & hardware),
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584
was crashing repeatedly this morning
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-47652071
my brother wrote me Thu, 21 Mar 2019 10:32:02 +0000
"it was going up by over 100,000 per hour earlier today"
I'v seen:
43,676 signatures @ Wed, 20 Mar 2019 17:10:10 +0100
947,303 signatures @ Thu Mar 21 15:06:31 CET 2019
A load of about a million addresses with confirmation mails a day.
BTW The "Show on a map" links to another site
https://petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com/?petition=241584
presumably that avoids extra load on signature site, nice functionality, but
beyond remit for us on mailman-users@.
Cheers,
Julian

Brexit now minority: 2.1 M now over 18, More Remainers; 1.5 M died, less
Leavers; 700 K votes Stolen from British Remainers in EU; + 3 M globaly
