ezmlm (with the ezmlm-idx add-on) makes Majordomo look like a bad
hack. Likewise for qmail vs. sendmail.

I've used majordomo+sendmail, majordomo+qmail, and ezmlm+qmail. I
think ezmlm+qmail is the best in terms of performance, reliability,
and manageability, and it's well worth the effort to switch.

I recommend installing ezmlm+qmail on your existing list server (just
don't install qmail-smtpd (on port 25) or qmail's "sendmail"). That'll
allow you to play with qmail and ezmlm without interfering with your
majordomo+sendmail setup.

Once you've migrated the lists to ezmlm, you can turn off sendmail and 
install qmail-smtpd.

Painless and low risk.
