We've already looked at mailman and a number of other packages. None of 
them fit our requirements as we need to be able to tie the list 
administration in to our existing user authentication / admin control 
panel, plus we want to tie the email lists to our membership databases. 
We've got most of the other infrastructure already, we just need an 
efficient way of sending out bulk emails to a large list of addresses.

Thanks,

Simon
