I've been looking mailman site, archives, etc ... about database support for mailman. I mean by database support the feature to store subscribed users and their options in a relational database like MySQL or Postgres.
There are LDAP and MySQL member adaptors that have been built for use with Mailman 2.1.x, but they're patches. People have reported that they work well, but they are not a part of the standard package.
This sort of thing will be fully and properly integrated into the upcoming "Mailman3" project that is under way, but in the meanwhile if you want to use a back-end database, you have to use the patches that have been contributed by the user community.
I'm thinking in this feature for scalability purposes. Without database support does mailman scale to high volume lists ? (more that 10.000 subsribers)
10k subscribers is peanuts for Mailman. With the right hardware, OS, and software configuration, you can do 100,000 or more. See <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.015.htp>.
