Your technical questions will be answered by reading the LISTSERV
Developer's Guide, available from the L-Soft web site here
<http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/1.8e/developer/developer.pdf>.

Your performance questions are difficult to quantify.  There are a number
of variables concerned:

* what MTA is handling the outbound connection?

* how much bandwidth is available between LISTSERV, the DBMS,
  and to the Internet?

* is the DBMS installed on the same machine as LISTSERV?  If
  so, what other processes are also running?

* are you using conditional blocks or mail-merges?
