Maybe you're right, maybe you're not... If you're happy with MailMan, use
it. It's very cool stuff.

But try to build dynamic-mailinglists with dynamic recipients-list comming
out of a Postgres-DB, a Oracle-DB, a webservice and all your members from a
Plone-Site... Good luck with Mailman, MailBoxer can use all Zope-Features
for this, so it's pretty easy to do.
