We have had no issues with mailing lists upto and including 250,000 addresses. 
Processing depends on the server spec's, and we have seen a list with 250,000 
addresses processed in under 20 minutes (admitedly the server wasn't doing much else 
at the time).
 
Please note, this was not the time to deliver all messages, but the time it took to 
read the addressess from the database and generate the individual messages. Of course, 
as soon as it started to generate individual messages the sending began and that aided 
to the increase in load on the server.

* This is the modus mailing list *

We keep the send rate low as to not overload anything. We still have on
average 550K per day normal email traffic to process. I might be playing it
a little to conservatively. I guess I am still a little gun shy from the
problems we had with our previous mail package (Ipswich's Imail). If I would
try to send a list of 3000 address the server would crash.
