We've been using Mailman for a while now, (still actually running Version 1.1). We've started to hit some problems with high message volumes to individual list. We are seeing multiple python processes trying to deliver to the same mailing list, and getting hung waiting on CPU.
As we start loking into ways to solve this problem, I thought I'd send a note out to see if other people are seeing this type behavior and what they are doing to solve it. Can Mailman be run on multiple receiving mail servers and safely NFS mount the mailman directory ? Or do we only get more CPU capacity by going to a bigger box? Have there been any performance enhancements between the current version and the 1.1 version that we are running? I've been trying to find a Changelog, and haven't found what I'm looking for so far. We are also using python 1.5.2. I'm not sure what has changed in that distribution as well. We are seeing some python processes seem to have a fairly high memory footprint. Right now we are running on Solaris, and for political and financial reasons, that will probably not change in the next year or so. We are also running our lists on the mail server with users. We are strongly considering moving the lists to a separate list server. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate them.
