As more MTAs gain the ability to "magically" recognize new mailing
lists, the hurdles to a ttw (through the web) newlist decrease. There
are recipes for Exim and Postfix -- scan the archives, and btw, Wieste
sent me an email with some better ideas than I'd posted before, but
haven't tried yet. Writing a CGI shouldn't be too hard, except that
Mailman's current CGI generating scripts are in serious need of
rewriting.
For other, non-automagic MTAs, I envision a simple pluggable framework
for sticking in your own post-list-creation scripts. That way you
could add some setuid thingy that e.g. runs newaliases and HUPs your
MTA.
One issue is: who gets to create and delete new lists? Probably only
those with the site password.
