David, I used to run three relatively small mailing lists with MajorDomo.
It was a major pain in the ass to administrate, so my heart goes out to
you.
A couple suggestions until you can get some exploder sites...
1) MajorDomo is VERY inefficient. Have you considered using ListProc
instead? ListProc is a MUCH more intelligent and efficient program and
uses far less in the way of system resources (all written in C instead of
being an interpreted perl script).
2) Force DIGEST mode on everyone. It drastically cuts down on the number
of mailings the system must do and further reduces the load on the system
and on your bandwidth.
Michael
