It would not be hard at all to port Mailman, or something like it, to
run on top of the Windows 2000 SMTP server (which comes out of the box
as part of IIS).

I've considered doing this at some point, although it is just as
likely that I'd write a new system from scratch.  Everything for my
mailing lists (MTA, searchable archives) runs on Windows 2000 except
for mailman itself.

I'm not really sure why Marc makes such sweeping statements as the one
above.
