[plug] Mail Lists (was Mail Servers and before that Mail Delivery options)

[Leon Blackwell]

I've been really impressed with Listar.  It's fairly lightweight, and
has an abundance of features.  There's a nifty web-based config tool
available, and email based config and moderation is all cookie-based.
Yup, that means no plain text passwords and weird things in email.

Although I haven't had the time to test all of it, Listar does seem to
have support for what you need.  I also particularly like the option
of blocking of moderating any posts above a certin size.  It stops
people sending inline uuencoded files and things, which attachment
blocking can't do alone.
