I currently admin the Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts server (ale.org) and we
run mailman. I can help set things up if needed. The ale list get's a
fair amount of traffic on occasion (much more than the schoolforge list)
and there seem to be many other tools that interface with mailman
(wordpress is how we run the website and there is a mailman module for
it as well). Let me know how I can help.
