I know Mailman
Actually i used it before i switched to minimalist.
It's just that Mailman feels big and fat. I don't need most of the features, i 
don't like the unhandy web interface and i'm not really a python friend 
either.

Minimalist is very convenient to set up and configure, you have clean and 
simple config files.

With Mailman i felt like with inn ( tough i never really got inn to do what i 
want (2 small local group and one remote one)), while with minimalist i feel 
more like with leafnode2 :)

Also, i think that - as long as mailing list and newsgroup reside on the same 
server - the news2mail gateway should something that is initiated by the 
newsserver on saving a post, and not seperately polled by cron job or so. 
( or am i wrong? )
