L-Soft hosts over 3,000 lists at our hosting facility, with subscribers up to
x00,000.  All are hosted on Windows (actually most are now migrated to
Windows2000).  You will want to be sure you are running the HPO version of
LISTSERV (necessary for large subscriber lists).

Well we would of course prefer you use LSMTP but you can use any SMTP mailer you
like.  LISTSERV for NT comes with its own SMTP Receiver program and a simple
SMTP Forwarder that will get the mail to the 'real' outbound SMTP box(s).

Delivery speed will depend on the SMTP mailer, not on LISTSERV.

This is very well developed on Windows.
