There's good and bad with Mailman. I have many of the same complaints about
it that you've mentioned -- in particular I don't like that certain settings
are only in its Berkeley DB. On the positive side, Mailman has a lot of
features.

Have a quick look at MLMMJ. ["Mailing List Manager Made Joyous"] I'm not
suggesting changing away from Mailman to it, rather just looking at it to
know that it exists as an alternative.

http://mlmmj.org/

It's written in C and doesn't require a web interface to run it. There are
two web interfaces available for it; one in Perl and one in PHP. Last I
tried it the Perl web interface didn't work (the dependencies on the CentOS
package may not have been correct), but the PHP one does. MLMMJ doesn't
have a built-in web archive (because it doesn't have a web component to it
by default) but one can add one with Lurker or MHonArc. Between the two I'd
recommend MHonArc even though it's more complicated to configure, because
messages with UTF-8 Subject headers of today seem to get screwed up in Lurker.

With MLMMJ subscribed addresses are in plaintext files, headers to add (or
remove) are in plaintext files... and so on. All plaintext, all in one
place, easy to back up, as well as being easy to manually edit.

This is true; there are a whole bunch of Mailman admin pages and things
aren't laid out like you'd expect.

As you'll find out, exporting a list of subscribers requires digging into
the Berkeley DB manually too -- or using wget to dump admin web pages and
scraping them for subscribed addresses.

Congrats on getting the mailing list back up -- I have a good idea how much
work you just put into doing that.
