We keep having emails that are eaten by the lists. It may not be mj2s
fault in itself, but it's something with our setup, and I've repeatedly
heard people blame it on mj2... But if it's not mj2's fault, then let's
look at what else is wrong in the setup and fix that.

I thought outbound delivery was handled by postfix? Having it deliver
23k emails should be trivial.

I hit google for "majordomo 2" which comes up with mj2.org.
Like I said, the developers appear to be responsive, but I fail to find
any kind of user community. Could be me not agreeing with google today :-)
(I have been looking for info on mj2 for a different project as well,
but had to rule it out comlpetely because I could find no documentation
and no information whatsoever on the web)
