Either mailman or majordomo, hard to say.
Majordomo had a big installed base, but it's losing grounds quickly
(it was far from being the best, but it was the most popular)

You can point those  people to the restrictions in qmail  (which you more or
less need to run ezmlm).
http://www.linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/#djb
After  that, you  notice that  you have  ezmlm and  ezmlm-idx maintained  by
different people than  the author (DJB), and the strange  absence of license
on the ezmlm.org web site (I didn't download it to check further).
Of course, qmail itself isn't open source.

I'd *much* rather be working with Barry than DJB, thank you :-)

PS: ezmlm isn't crap though, it  has some nice features that mailman doesn't
quite match yet.
