I really have to disagree with that statement.  Yes, LISTSERV *is* rather
complex, but it is also very efficient at what it does.  In my experience
it doesn't use very much of the CPU at all - I mean well under 1%.
 
Of course, it generates mail, and some of that mail uses other resources on
its way out to the world, such as passing through mailer, smtp etc.  And in
my opinion, if you want to talk about junk, talk about IBM's SMTP.
