Last time I looked at doing this, I ended up sub-domaining out
(lists.example.org), and installing a *nix box, Exim, and Mailman for
that subdom (plus appropriate DNS records).

I think I got as far as setting up ActivePython, and building Mailman,
to give up at some point, and used a "proper" OS; that in mind, though,
I'm not a Python fan, and knew it would take me <1 hour to have things
operational on $OTHER-BOX.

I'd suggest using IMAPS over POP3, ymmv.
