	Come on, Charlie... "boatloads of system resources" is a bit
of an over statement. We run a couple of huge lists on Mailman.
Hardly even know when it's running and our servers are right here,
there's a monitor on every one of them, and top is usually on the
screen. It spews the messages lightly too. Haven't used Smartlist in
over a year. Two years perhaps. I stopped using it when support and
development stopped. It may have started again and it may very well
be lighter than mailman but "boatloads of system resources" is
a bit of a stretch.

	End users, at least our's, like Mailman. For that reason,
and that reason alone, it's worth at least considering. Unless
smartlist has changed considerably supporting Mailman is most
certainly easier too.

	Peace be with you,
