So the question is, how large a list do we need to support? The
practical high water mark may come with a large organization that
needs a mailing list for all its members. The internal mailing list of
a corporation with 100,000 employees may be a good example. Of course,
a secret which that many people know isn't very secret.
I think this is a very good point. But, once you get to mailing lists
with that many subscribers, I think the mode of operation changes. In
particular, the number of posts per unit time is probably very small
and there are probably only a small number of authorized posters.
These posters are probably not posting from their phones, but sending
messages that were partially composed by the PR department. As such,
computational cost is probably not a concern.
I think a solution that scales to thousands of subscribers is probably
more than adequate.
