Essentially, I need remote (un)subscribe, limit posting/moderation, 
preferably some kind of archiving would be nice.

Some lists will need to be subscribed on a requirement basis, and others 
will need to allow subscribers to add/remove themselves at will
A little more info may be needed here.

I am currently running 2 servers.   1, the primary web/mail server is 
running an aging install of qmail/ezmlm which I'd love to replace with 
exim/vexim/<insert generic mailing list manager here>.

Being reluctant to mess with the working system, I cheated and setup a 
second server which is running vexim with some custom mods, and any 
domains requiring mailing list support are passed through to the 
original server.

I've also had to mess about with my default vexim install to allow mail 
to be filtered & forwarded to the qmail server, since in the version of 
vexim I have, relay domains are only relayed, not run through the 
spam/virus filters.

I would really like to be able to retire the qmail setup in favour of 
vexim but without real mailing list support, I'm unable to do so.

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated in getting this happening.

Cheers

Tim
