Well, you still need to setup delivery and this. Postfix has support for
+ extensions ezmlm uses for bounce handling (at least for low-volume
lists this is pretty good, I agree that for high volume lists you do not
want to send out separate mails to each recipient...), but I believe
that ezmlm also doesn't use /usr/sbin/sendmail or SMTP to localhost, but
instead QMTP or something like that which supposedly is faster.

Courier-mlm is AFAIK similar to ezmlm, but should work with other MTAs.
I haven't tried it. I'm not sure if there is a web admin interface,
which is something I do need for some users. (admin users, that is)

What I liked best with ezmlm was the moderation handling. If the mail
was "good", I would just press "reply" and done. I hate when I have to
switch from my mail program to a web gui, or do some other magic.
Setting a reply-to containing the unique accept key isn't that hard...

Greetings,
Erich
