Mailman can handle 5000+ users, but I am curious what you mean by "interactive"
list.  You mean, you have some lists which are publish-only, i.e. moderated for
a specific users, and some that allow regular users to post?

I guess you'd have to define what you mean by "work with Exchange"

Mailman should work with any mail server that accepts SMTP protocol, but it does
need that connection to be "localhost", so you'll end up installing a local MTA,
and end up establishing forwarding rules between your local postfix and the
outbound exchange server, and vice versa.  Here is a post (cached) which was
somewhat relevant.

Alternatively, if you actually are the admin of your own Exchange server, I'm
guessing you'd be successful running mailman underneath the ActiveState Python
for windows environment, or cygwin, and use the local exchange server.

Mailman packages also usually install Pipermail, which is the web-archiving
tool, which you see here:  http://909linux.org/pipermail/909linux/ if you wish
to have web-based mailman archives.

You can configure a list to not have archiving, etc... on a list by list basis.
