I'm planning on converting from ezmlm to Smartlist. How do I go about loading a text file of addresses into the list database? With ezmlm, I can just do: cat addresses.txt | xargs ezmlm-sub ~/DIR Is it something similar with Smartlist?

cat addresses.txt >>~list/LISTNAME/dist

...

Also, what email server does everyone recommend for maximum performance?

I like Exim; there are convenient recipes to avoid all that mucking about with aliases files, and in my experience it's an excellent high-performance mailer. (I recommend looking at the exim-users archives at www.exim.org; there are quite a few people using Exim in intense mailing-list environments.)

Nobody seems to have a solid performance comparison; it's too dependent on other factors.
