I wonder if someone can tell me about the capacity of a SUN box with Solaris 2.4 that would be needed to manage many lists where a bunch might have thousands of subscribers. I don't have many details to impart, just a request from our Commissioner to be able to have e-mail discussion lists for various groups of users, from specific teams of workers to all the teachers (with email addresses) in NYS. I know that part of the purpose is for the commissioner to notify people of new standards, legislation, etc. pertaining to education. That one way communication is one thing, but also mentioned was a mechanism for teachers to provide feedback (could be done by email to a general-purpose mailbox, administered by a small group of users) and to communicate with each other in regards to curriculum, etc (could be a lot of people and a lot of talk!). We do not currently have a two-way list of significant size or activity to compare with. We have one one-way list used to broadcast announcements relating to the Department with a couple thousand members (if work here and have email, you're a member - users don't subscribe themselves to the list). Any help or advice is appreciated and welcome! ================================ Ginny Fiero, Systems Programmer NYS Education Department - 566 EBA ph. (518)486-1912 e-mail: [log in to unmask]
