If you want Bang-for-the-Buck, use SmartList.  Procmail-based, and thus
completely written in C, and because it is procmail rule-based, it is
infinitely customizable.  I have run MajorDomo, and ListServ-based lists
in the past, but I much prefer the completely free SmartList package
and would never even consider switching back.
