FWIW, I'm running mailman on an openbsd system w/ 64M ram and 200M swap on an old Compaq P90. Active software includes mailman (2.1.5), apache, postfix, and bind. Not very speedy, but works well enough for <50 member lists. top tells me: Memory: Real: 23M/47M act/tot Free: 11M Swap: 41M/200M used/tot > I don't think you're going to cut down those memory requirements by much, > at least not for Mailman itself.

There are tiny web and smtp servers, but I suspect that most of them will be missing -some- feature that mailman needs. While trying to shoehorn a working system onto some "interesting" platform can be fun, life will be easier if you can add a bunch of memory. z! ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
