I recently got mailman up and running. It wasn't easy but I think most 
of my issues were because I was using qmail as my MTA and all the 
documentation assumed you were using a sendmail type MTA. ezmlm is made 
by the same person who created qmail **much** easier to set up with 
qmail but didn't have some of the features I liked. Because one client 
already had postfix, php, mysql, and imap set up I once used 
http://www.interspire.com/sendstudio/. They had extreamly modest mailing 
list needs but so far sendstudio has been working great for them. (its 
actually more of an announce software than a mailing list app).
Hope that helps let me know if you need more details.
