neat. Which brings to mind a chance for a practical linux server scaling
question: 

  What type of hardware is tarnhelm today?
  How much work does it do? (how big are the mailing lists.. how many
    messages a day.. how many web transactions.. are they all
    static-apache-things?)
  how close to being maxed out is it? (and how do you measure that?)

  are you considering adding new server based member services? (blu.org forwarding
    accounts and/or pop service? DNS services?)
