| What do you prefer? I've found the Mailman 2.1.x series very likeable.

I'm not sure of the details of the various Mailman versions, but in
general I find their web interface (which requires keeping a password
stashed away somewhere to access it) cumbersome to use, and the
automated monthly password reminders annoying (on list servers where
that is switched on).

Whatever the Debian MLs run on seems reasonably nice, and I've heard
"Enemies of Carlotta" being plugged on debian-devel a few times.
Whether these two facts are related I'm not sure.

Yes.  There exist backports of Mailman.
