Another option you can look into (that I've used in the past) is to
gateway the mailing list to a private nntp server (there is one that is
simple-stupid to set up - newsd I think), and then set up / integrate
with the rest of the website via web-based nntp client software -
http://code.google.com/p/bacaberita/ http://web-news.sourceforge.net/
etc. One advantage is that it is really trivial to try different /
multiple web front-ends, and change in the future, since the back-end
uses a standardized protocol (and can also be swapped out in favor of
inn, diablo etc. if needed without effecting the front end).
