Exim.org used to run with smartlist. It worked, but always felt
painful, although was relatively maintenance free once working. Bounce
handling was marginal - Mailman is now considerably better. Archiving
is by mbox, any web archiving would have to be handled separately.
Subscription confirmation used to be a separate patch.
A recipe for automatic list handling with smartlist is hidden in the
FAQ somewhere - this is the configuration that used to run on exim.org.
Mailman is coming along nicely and works well with exim. The archiver
is marginal - I keep considering moving to a MIME capable archiver.
Writing custom bounce handlers is easy, although currently
unnecessary... however someone will come up with a bounce set that
defeats it again soon.
