Does 3 yet run on anything other than Linux? The last time I looked at it, it looked to be pretty much Linux-only. (My company's Solaris-based mail servers aren't going away anytime soon.)
Unless v3 is different from v2 in this regard, mailman doesn't have to run in the same OS instance as the MTA. Put mailman3 on a linux (or bsd) box and let the existing MTAs do their thing. You will have to deal with routing the mailman aliases to the mailman system, but that shouldn't be difficult.
We could set that up here, but rather than set up another VM running a different OS just to support Mailman 3 isn't going to happen. We'll stick with 2.
OTOH, node.js is available for solaris x86 (32 & 64 bit) on the nodejs.org site. If you're still running sparc servers.... aren't they getting a bit long in the tooth?
Just because there were SPARC servers in 1995 doesn't mean ALL SPARC servers are from 1995, CZ...these aren't the ones we ran at Digex. ;)
Our T3s and T4s are reasonably new and screaming fast. They'll get replaced when they're truly obsolete, rather than "salesman obsolete". That likely means ARM. (does Node.js run on ARM?)
