true @washington, but then there is no definitive way of approximate usage except to assume everyone is on their own non yahoo, non ISP Mxes. otherwise youre stuck with the <it depends> answer..

"every time i send a message to skunkworks, say 15kb, the server recieves 15k of data, and sends 15 X say 1000 users -> 15000Kb or 15Mb" is not entirely true. With pipelining, an SMTP engine can send only one message, say, to yahoo.com, with several "rcpt to:" if the message has, say X recipients ending with yahoo.com.

it all depends on how many messages a day you send. consider it this way, every time i send a message to skunkworks, say 15kb, the server recieves 15k of data, and sends 15 X say 1000 users -> 15000Kb or 15Mb. now if you reply, its the same routine. if the total number of messages happen to be say 100 (posts and replies combined), you are looking at 1.5Gb of transfer in a day.

depending on how busy the site is, this will translate to roughly 50GB of transfer in a month.

Thanks for the info so far [ Brainiac ]. I will be doing about 1000 subscribers. What kind of bandwidth would you need for this forum (Skunkworks) ?

additionally, since most VPS price on volume of traffic, you need to do something like avg size of email X number of subscribers X number of emails in a month to have an approximate amount of bandwidth expected. then factor that in your computations if youre looking at a big list.

1: VPS / Semi dadicated hosting.
2: Hosted platform like google groups.

One will use mailman, the other is cheap..

Doing it for a client... They'd like a mailing list just like Skunkworks.

So far I have the provider (MailMan - opensource) and I have the domain. The hosting is the tricky bit, most hosts restrict number of emails sent out from a domain.
