Hi,
A few things I wanted to respond to.
First of all, I agree that personalization is an important feature for certain lists. Especially if your target audience isn't the average computer geek. I need it for two reasons: easy unsubscription and bulletproof bounce detection (or better: reported-as-spam-by-AOL-user-detection). One could argue that users need to be educated better, but sometimes that's almost like striving for world peace.
I can agree that mailman might be too slow for huge personalized lists, but my lists aren't bigger than 3k users... I have been running mailman for many years now. In the beginning it was running on an ancient Pentium 75 machine, so performance was a big issue for me (I couldn't even approve more than 5 posts at a time or else the system could crash ;) ) but now I have a 2Ghz machine with fast disks at my disposal so mailman won't have any trouble sending out those 3000 messages...
Speaking of personalization: what is the main reason it hasn't been implemented for digests yet? Simply a lack of time or are there some important design issues which make it difficult? If isn't too difficult I could try to invest some time it myself to try to get it to work (I'm not a python god, but I can manage)
about improving delivery speed: what about implementing LMTP? (http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/rfc/rfc2033.txt)
Regards,
Ricardo.
