I know this is one of those questions where the real answer is "it depends". However, I will ask it anyway, in case someone has done something similar enough.
I have been running two small lists with Mailman, several hundred users, and average of 2 messages a day per list. The impact has really been minimal on my Linux machine.
Now I have been asked to help with a proposal to set up a server dedicated to running Mailman for 50-100 lists. They would all probably have an average of 2-300 users, probably at most 5 messages per day on average.
Should I propose a modern machine (Intel-based, 2+ GHz, 512+ MB RAM, 40+ GB storage)? Or if I suggested a used machine (3-400 MHz, upgrade RAM to at least 256 MB, upgrade disk to 40+ GB) at a cost of around $400 or less, would that be foolish?
Thanks.
