The one built in to mailman works well, and is easy enough to set up, you
just need a news server and newsgroup to point it at.

I use it for the WaFreeNet mailing list <-> wafreenet.general newsgroup.

I prefer mailing lists over newsgroups, which is why I never bothered
setting up a plug <-> wa.plug gateway (or wherever) but if you or James or
Bernard want to set one up, feel free.
