Oh... is Mailman written in Python? Wow, ya learn something new every day, huh!

Anyway, thanks.  Looks like that's probably the route I'll then be taking.

I would go with your cpannel choice as the mail man and python stuff is already done for you i did this for my own list serve and my news letters. No scripting for me. Wahoo!

So, here's for the more somewhat techies, for what its worth.

I am incredibly seriously considerring setting up a listserv. I want the list to be an open discussion like this list, and I also want membership to have to be approved by a list owner/moderator. This said, once on the list, I have no problems with people then posting freely to the list. I should add that I'm not trying to replace Mac Access. don't even go there. LOL! This list isn't even going to be a technology based list. OK, if the subject briefly comes up within sparing reasoning, ok, but I'm not going to base the list on computers of any kind, so... If anyone wants to know more about the list I'm thinking of starting up, you're welcome off list to write me at:

clgillan...@gmail.com

Anyway, so here is my question. I know that I have several options for this.

1.  Googlegroups

2.  Yahoogroups

3. Using my web hosting package through Arvixe which relies on Mailman through CPanel

4.  Setting this up locally on my own machine with OSX Server

I'm just wonderring accessibility wize, and also easability wise, which of these is probably going to be the easiest. Another thing I want to deploy in this list is to have it automatically once subscribed and approved, send out a prewritten message to the member with the list guidelines.

I have in the past very briefly looked at all the above sollutions, but haven't done so really thoroughly nor productively.

All this said, for those of you who do run a mailing list, what do you all find to be the quickest and easiest way to get this up and working, without just making a total sloppy mess of the list config in the process?
