Belden, 
You are correct.
I've found Mailman a pleasure to use for this list.
Easy to set up and easy to maintain.

Here's a snip from the Perl Mongers FAQ

   Q: You use mailman on a Perl web site? 
   Are you a secret Python programmer?
   A: mailman is better than majordomo. Deal with it.

I don't know anything about the system administration side.
But Mike does and I see he has posted on this thread.
