If I am to make changes to sendmail might as well install another server which will be better/easier for me as a non-admin person to use/configure/maintain.

Any recommendations/suggestions?
Should I even bother to replace sendmail?
Sendmail is quite capable of doing the job. However, many people find it difficult to configure and manage.
For smaller sites, or sites wishing to have a simpler configuration file, I find that postfix generally works very well. It has one of the simplest configuration files that I have ever seen, and comes configured out-of-the-box to be just about the perfect MTA for a mailing list.
I've also heard good things about Exim, but my own experiences so far have been less positive with it than with postfix. Note that Exim is not designed to be a drop-in replacement for sendmail, whereas postfix works very hard to function correctly in this role.
If you'd like to learn more about postfix, you may want to check out the article at <http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/25/1125223&mode=thread&tid=126&tid=172&tid=95>, and read the pages that they link to.
You should also read the Mailman FAQ, question 4.2 "Which MTA should I use with Mailman?", at <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.002.htp>.
