Then look at listar.  It is new to the ports tree, but has been around for
quite some time.  Originally built as a replacement for majordomo, has
quite a few of the features and configurability of L-Soft's
LISTSERV.  Handles bounce unsubscribing, everything.  Runs suid to its own
uid and gid.  Listar has been used on several very large
lists.  Something to think about.  :)

Cheers!
