The soon to be available Mac Mini might be perfect for running this.
$499, 6" x 2" is all the room it takes up, and it will run PHP til' the
cows com home. You can turn the Mini into a Unix server, since it
comes ready for that out of the box, thanks to OS X. I am just
learning PHP/MySQL, etc., but it is something I am looking into myself.
I am not familiar with Mailman ( yet ) but I'd assume that it would be
no problem setting it up.

Just a thought.
