I'm sorry Cabel, but I'm going to have to take away your 'largest list' title. The AdoptionWeek E-Magazine, currently run with MailMain, sendmail, and the MySQL MailmanMemberships patch (http://kyrian.ore.org/MailmanMysql/) currently serves 124,329 members. This is a one-message-per-week list with _very_ tight restrictions on who can send out, so our load is probably lower than comparable discussion lists.
The list was originally converted to Mailman about a year ago by a different admin, so I'm not too familiar with how it was initially set up. I do eventually hope to upgrade the server from Solaris an old Sun 250 to Linux on something modern, though, and when that time comes I'm sure I'll be a _very_ active member of the list.
Right now it's taking us roughly 2-3 days to send out a single message to our whole list, so if anyone has any sendmail performance tips, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm more of a postfix guy, myself, so sendmail is a whole new world for me.
Glad to be aboard!
