Listar sucks, too. There are two good MLMs out there: MailMan and
ezmlm. MailMan must be working for some people because a lot of big
lists run with it. Personally, I've had nothing but trouble with it (and
I just *hate* GUI administration).

That sounds kinda kludgy IYAM.  Any chance of switching to
qmail/ezmlm-idx? I run all my lists with it and it's pure joy:

,----
| ezmlm-0.53 provides basic message distribution, subscriber address
| handling, message archiving (single quoted message retrieval only), and
| bounce handling. ezmlm-idx adds multi-message threaded archive
| retrieval, digests, remote administration, message and subscription
| moderation, subscriber-only restrictions, message trailer, subject
| prefix, subscriber name storage, customizable setup, multi-language and
| MIME support and more. In addition, improved bounce handling,
| case-insensitive subscriber address storage, and support for distributed
| lists (main + sublist transparent to the subscriber). Ezmlm-idx can now
| be compiled with MySQL or Postgres support.
