Hello,
I am trying to gage the capability of a Mailman virtual machine, which we will
be moving our lists to. I'd like to do my best to size and tune this VM, and
it's Postfix and Mailman installation, before putting it in production, and
potentially having to troubleshoot and tune in a hurry.

I don't have any data for a comparable size installation. The benchmark
test you describe seems

Thanks,
Ivan.
