[TriLUG] Mailman Setup?

[Ryan Wheaton]

True, but this "listserver" is mainly going to be used for sending out 
mail, not so much receiving it.  It's going to be used for mass mailings 
and keeping track of user's subscriptions, etc.  but setting up an MTA on 
the box shouldn't be too difficult (especially if there's a POSTFIX.README).

maybe i should reconsider what I'm using to perform this task?  we had used 
Lyris in the past, but everyone who's been using it thinks it sucks and is 
over it, so i figured Mailman does the same thing as Lyris (and probably 
better).
