- 15. Can SmartList handle a very large subscriber list?
SmartList is capable of handling subscriber lists upwards of 90,000. There are a few things to be aware of:
1. A large list will take hours to send out, on occasion even over a day, this is not due to SmartList capablities, but to the nature of sendmail and procmail and the handling of bounced mail.
2. It will generate a correspondingly large volume of bounced mail.
This bounced mail may need special handling not to choke the list admin's mail box.
3. It is a good idea to refer to the list's documentation and to the SmartList mailing list and archives for information on handling the hugh volume of bounces and for optimization tips for large lists before setting out.
