Listserv is not a synonym for mailing list. Rather, it is the trademarked
name for a competing brand of mailing list management software. Please do
not use "listserv" in connection with GNU Mailman.

Mailman can easily handle a list of that size. If you are to have an
issue, it will be with your computer's resources (memory, disk space,
etc.) and/or Internet bandwidth.

[Mailman-Users] List Limitations

[Richard Berta]

Hello,

Our Association currently uses your mailing list program (Mailman), and I'm not 
familiar with it's limitations ie how big of a mailing list we can have.

We're looking to start a new listserv with 3,000+ names, can the current system 
handle something of that size?  I could not locate this info on your website, 
so all apologies if it's up there...

I'd appreciate your help!

Thanks,
