Greetings.
I'm a bit new to Mailman, as I've yet to actually install it on anything.
We currently have a majordomo server that's aging, and I'd prefer to replace it with Mailman for a number of reasons.
Is there any reason I can't run Mailman on our outbound SMTP server, or would I want to locate it somewhere else? I'd like to avoid giving it its own dedicated box if at all possible, but I also don't want it to complicate the sending of generic mail, either in terms of hostnames or in overhead.
FreeBSD 6.1 and Postfix are the relevant pieces.
Thanks very much in advance.

Well, a lot will depend on your specific mail server and mailing list configuration, but I certainly don't see any reason why you can't run them both on the same machine. I think that this is the most typical type of installation, anyway.

Trend Micro has announced that they will cancel the stop.mail-abuse.org mail forwarding service as of 15 November 2006. If you have an old e-mail account for me at this domain, please make sure you correct that with the current address.
