Mailman is probably what you want to use, because anyone who subscribes to any amount of mailing lists knows exactly how to use Mailman and it's features.

Does CentOS 5.6 have a mailing list manager like ecartis or majordomo? I want to set up mailing lists for my server in the cloud for three domains that I own. What mailing list managers do yourecommend, and where can they be found? I don't ming compiling source code.
Mailman is kind of the defacto standard list manager these days, indeed, this centos list is managed by it.
the project site is http://www.list.org/ with the documentation and such.
its in the EL5 and I assume EL6 standard repositories, so...
yum install mailmansuffices to install it and set it up. it uses a service called, naturally, mailman
chkconfig mailman on service mailman startexcept I think the installation does this automatically.
oddly, In the rhel/centos install, all the management tools are in /usr/lib/mailman/bin/ which isn't in the normal path, but you only need these to create new lists and such, pretty much everything else is done through a simple web interface..
the web interface for users and list moderators will default to http://yourhost.domain.com/mailman/listinfo if you don't dink around with vhost records.
