    I run several mailman (http://list.org) mailing list managers. Using
    Debian is no problem. The advantages are obvious:

    - nice interface (web & email)
    - archiving with web-interface
    - semi-automagic administration
    - easy to setup and run

    just my thoughts

    wbr,
    Lukas
