CentOS - Jul 2011 - Recommended mailing list manager for CentOS 5.6

Does CentOS 5.6 have a mailing list manager like ecartis or majordomo? I 
want to set up mailing lists for my server in the cloud for three 
domains that I own. What mailing list managers do yourecommend, and 
where can they be found? I don't ming compiling source code.

Thanks,

mailman has always worked well for me, easy to use, reasonable defaults, mail 
archived by default.

Mailman is kind of the defacto standard list manager these days, indeed, 
this centos list is managed by it.

the project site is  http://www.list.org/ with the documentation and such.

its in the EL5 and I assume EL6 standard repositories, so...

     yum install mailman

suffices to install it and set it up.  it uses a service called, 
naturally, mailman

     chkconfig mailman on
     service mailman start

except I think the installation does this automatically.

oddly, In the rhel/centos install, all the management tools are in 
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/ which isn't in the normal path, but you only need 
these to create new lists and such, pretty much everything else is done 
through a simple web interface..

the web interface for users and list moderators will default to 
http://yourhost.domain.com/mailman/listinfo  if you don't dink around 
with vhost records.
