   I use Mailman for my class lists and restrict posts to members of 
the list.  I know that grates against our egalitarian notions but it 
sure keeps the spam down.

   Mailman is very easy to use and seems to be simple to maintain.  
If my workstation were a little more stable, I'd volunteer to manage 
the lists.
