Yup - but it really slows down the flow.  Check out the
concept of holding for moderation / auto approval after
a set period if not rejected.  Listar does it, for one.
And I'd be amazed if Listar does it and Mailman can't...

Xmail!  It's like Sendmail!  It was written for NT but
has been ported to *nix!  It can add users on the fly!
It's GPL!  It does lists too!

I just found it today, and I'm kicking myself.

Lyris is free if your lists have fewer than 200 members.
Web-based admin and NNTP gateway included as standard.
Automatic management of bounced messages. k3w1.

One of these days we'll finish that Win32 port of Mailman.

I promise it'll come out about the same time as Majorgumbo
if at all possible.  Heh
