So, here's for the more somewhat techies, for what its worth.

I am incredibly seriously considerring setting up a listserv.  I want the list 
to be an open discussion like this list, and I also want membership to have to 
be approved by a list owner/moderator.  This said, once on the list, I have no 
problems with people then posting freely to the list.  I should add that I'm 
not trying to replace Mac Access.  don't even go there.  LOL!  This list isn't 
even going to be a technology based list.  OK, if the subject briefly comes up 
within sparing reasoning, ok, but I'm not going to base the list on computers 
of any kind, so...  If anyone wants to know more about the list I'm thinking of 
starting up, you're welcome off list to write me at:

Anyway, so here is my question.  I know that I have several options for this.

1.  Googlegroups

2.  Yahoogroups

3.  Using my web hosting package through Arvixe which relies on Mailman through 
CPanel

4.  Setting this up locally on my own machine with OSX Server

I'm just wonderring accessibility wize, and also easability wise, which of 
these is probably going to be the easiest.  Another thing I want to deploy in 
this list is to have it automatically once subscribed and approved, send out a 
prewritten message to the member with the list guidelines.

I have in the past very briefly looked at all the above sollutions, but haven't 
done so really thoroughly nor productively.

All this said, for those of you who do run a mailing list, what do you all find 
to be the quickest and easiest way to get this up and working, without just 
making a total sloppy mess of the list config in the process?
