I think mailman is very accessible and much better to use then yahoo or google groups...
I run and administratore several mailman servers for more then 10 years now and I havn't any problems with the web interface all over the years no matter if I was using the mailman installations as a normal user or when it was necesary to do administrative things. All the features you like to have are possible with mailman, no problem. I'd use mailman...
