I would change your statement slightly, to: "I'm trying to install MajorDomo and I'm having major performance issues". The "fix" is to run a mail program that isn't written in Perl and has been designed over the course of 10 years to efficiently handle extremely large amounts of email in a flexible, highly configurable fashion. I can only think of one program that does that, and considering that this is the LISTSERV give-and-take forum, you can probably guess what that program is :-) I run a Linux system that runs Listserv, and have had absolutely no perfomance issues whatsoever with it. (Sendmail is a whole other barrel of wax.) Currently it's running 50 lists, some with over 4000 subscribers, delivering to a total of about 40,000 recipients a day. Listserv can handle it no problem.
