I heard some praise for http://www.sympa.org/
But I never used it myself.

I've been in the Mailman "acknowledgments" page for some time, and I
sort of pushed the internatiolaisation of Mailman, which I'm really
proud of. I'm also a declared Pythonist.

But circumstances and organizational needs have made me to use Sympa and
get ready for transitioning to it. Only thing I can say is that it is a
wonderful performant tool, with a lot of excellent capabilities and
extensions.

Hm... that makes two recommendations, I'll take a look at it as well.

Thanks Victoriano and Martin.

I have quite easily integrate mlmmj with Postfix, it's rather nice one you get setup. No fiddly web interfaces to worry about, it's all handled over email and with small config files for each list.

All I had to do postfix side was create an alias for each list then have a virtual entry delivering to that local alias. The alias then fed the message directly into mlmmj and all was good.

There are dozens of workarounds for this limitation.

First, why does the list name itself matter? What matters is that
actual email addresses are aliased to the list commands. Example
virtual(5) mapping:

support(a)example.com example.com_support(a)localhost
support(a)example.net example.net_support(a)localhost
support(a)example.org example.org_support(a)localhost

And other mappings as needed for the various Mailman commands. In
this example, the outside senders see and use the right support@
addresses, and only the help desk people see the real list names
of "domain.tld_support".

Second, this is trivially solved with multiple instances. You could
have config_directory as subdirectories of /etc/postfix/ such as
/etc/postfix/example.com, and do likewise for the queue_ and
data_directory for each instance.
http://www.postfix.org/MULTI_INSTANCE_README.html

I don't know about other MLMs, but I am sure you can solve your
problem with some Postfixation.
