Actually, i'm running postfix and mailman, and both are eating all the memory of my system. When they are active i can't even start the X server because it's too slooooow. Maybe because i have in my mailman list more than 16000 addresses, and since it's an annoucement list, i've to send e-mail to all members at the same time. I do only have 64mb ram but i have already ordered more... but is there a way to speed up those two daemons? Leonardo
