  Mailman has been designed to be highly configurable.  The up side of 

this is you can do things you could never do with Yahoo - for example if you wanted to allow gifs but not jpegs you could do that. The down side is there is no "on/off" switchs for sets of parameters you or some other user might want. Mailman is not Yahoo (thank God) and never will be (thank Him again!). If you want brain dead software that makes it easy to pick from it's very limited choices, there are plenty of services that will give you that - along with the ads to pay for it. If you are willing to do a bit more work, you can tailor Mailman for what ever your needs are. It's your choice.
