Yes, I have been told that sendmail is not the easiest "beast" to tackle
;)

We are currently running LISTSERV on a SGI Challenge S system that is
doing many other things...

I have noticed that NT with Listserv and LSMTP is quite fast and seems to
handle large lists pretty well... We have a Pentium Pro 200Mhz 128MB RAM
with windows NT workstation that I think I could use to run our LISTSERV.

Is NT workstation 4.0 suitable or would NT server be required?

What is the recommended service pack, if any?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

David
