Ok our one of our resident tech guys that was a Linux guru set up a Linux box with Mailman on it. It was great. He left so I decided to try and set everything up myself. I am not a total newb, as I run a Windows Box with Apache and a few other server aps. Well at least I didnt think I was a newb. I went through about a ½ dozen different Linux distros trying to find one I was comfortable with and after about 40hrs of installing and dumping I have given up trying to do it on Linux. I have read a bunch of FAQs on running Mailman on Windows and unless I am mistaken its a real pain.
So what I am looking for is either any easy straight forward way of installing Mailman on an NT box running Apache or a good alternative to the much loved and great Mailman software. I dont even NEED all the functionality of mailman. I need a mailing list server that will handle 100 members. I can sign them up manually. It has to receive mail and forward it back out to the group.
Any help in either direction would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi again, Seriously, pick any Linux distribution - Ubuntu may be a good bet for you as the user community is quite good for support. Personally, I run Mailman on OSX - it took some time for me to get it working, but it was actually quite easy once I figured out the terminology. I used the Postfix MTA that I already ran for Mailman & found it easy enough to get it going using that. I wrote a guide for setting up Mailman on OSX, part of which is contained here: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-install/node50.html Hope this helps you somewhat.
