There is no limit beyond what your CPU and disks can deliver. Before 1.7d
lists of that size required enormous amounts of CPU time for additions of
new subscribers and so on, so  in list archives you might find statements
that  these lists  simply don't  work. Message  distribution still  takes
quites a lot  of time, but then  there's no way to avoid  that and things
are getting better with every release.
