qmail (http://www.qmail.org) with ezmlm (http://www.ezmlm.org) and the 
ezmlm-idx patch  (also on http://www.ezmlm.org) make an excellent, easy 
to administer, and secure mailing list solution. (note that ezmlm-idx 
will also give you the ability to create html archives)

Inter7 has a brilliant virtual hosting and web mail platform  for qmail 
as well (http://www.inter7.com).

With all that said, I have no experience with postfix - but I have had 
much success with qmail and its addons.
