If they're going to use these tools, they need to understand something about how to configure them properly, yes. If not, then they need to either not use the tools at all, or they need to be configured properly by someone else. None of these things have apparently happened in your case.


                                                              Most have
 trouble just figuring out the difference between their user ID's and
 passwords.

That's true enough. So, these users need to be using software that is correctly configured by others. Which you are not.


             To reach a large number of users, the program should be
 simpler and intuitive (which I know requires a much better quality of
 development).

Yup. Your software is definitely showing that it is very poor quality, or at least very poorly configured.


                So far my brief introduction to Mailman has been
 anything but...

So far, our brief introduction to you and the software you've been using has been extremely negative. This is something you can fix, either by changing providers (to one where the software *is* properly configured), or by changing the configuration of the software you're using with your current provider.
