Could a dedicated RaQ3 adequately support a mailing list with about 3000 users that puts out 10-20 MB of messages posted per month (that's up to 60 GB of outgoing traffic)?

This sort of traffic can be very bursty. If someone posts a 200kb message, then that's 500 MB of data that has to be sent out.

There is no CGI or PHP involved here; just simple message forwarding.

I had the same thing running on a P200 with 64 MB of ram with a Linux O/S without a problem. The big thing you want to double check is the mailing program, I would run qmail if I were you.
