	Indeed, that was part of my point.  They've already made a pretty 
good choice for an MTA to handle mail for the list.

	I doubt it.  They've just got a big list, and they may not have 
tuned the installation quite as much as they could have.  Or, the 
software and hardware may be as tuned as they can get, and they're 
just out of capacity.

	In any event, the point I've been trying to make (repeatedly) is 
that, so far, all we have is a relatively small sample of data, and 
we do not (yet) have enough information to be making any valid 
conclusions.
