Hmm.  We are talking about opt-in lists, right?


Is there another listsoftware there is better for "oneway maling" ???


Mailman is a fine mailing list manager, and I think it has more 
functionality and a better security track record than some of the other systems.


and how many mails, do you think can be sent per hour, with the ringt 
configuration???


This depends entirely upon the SMTP server Mailman is talking to, the size 
of your messages, and the size of your outbound pipe.


You can deliver on the order of a million messages a day @ 15K/message using 
a Pentium-200-grade box [1] and a T1 line, and depending on how well your 
recipients are batched at the same destination SMTP server, you might do 
significantly better than that.

Im in a similar position and I've been asking around on a few 
mailinglists and from what I understand there dosen't seem to exist any 
magic application for this.


Basiclly, all answers I've got is: 'use '.

Will follow this thread with great interest.
