[Mailman-Users] Dumb question from a newby

[Peleg Michaeli]

Why Mailman?

I think that there are better and much simpler web engines for
*Newsletters*.

Mailman can do more than that, hence it is much more complicated to
use/install/configure (my opinion).

Once upon a time I stumbled across a web-based interface for creating a Mailman mailing list.  I even set up a prototype kinda list as a Newsletter (with nobody able to post except me/the owner).

Although this list is exlusively for Mailman... are there any other suggestions? Or is Mailman a good place to start for someone who is a little bit familiar with batch files, scripts, CPL's for the AS/400 and such?
