I'm looking for a program that will help me organize my mailings and I'm wondering if Mailman is the answer.
Don't know. Let's take a look at your requirements.
I need to be able to add new people to my lists,
Yup.
have a tracking system so that I know how many people who received the email actually read it,
There is no mail system on the planet that will actually let you do this. Send everyone to a web server where they are forced to log in, and you can track where they go. Even if they "view" a page, you can't be sure that they actually read anything on it.
organize things so that I can send one email to lots of people even though my mail server only allows me to send to 45 people at a time.
Not a problem.
Please let me know if Mailman is the answer. Also, would it have to be installed on my host server,
Depending on what they're running, this may not be a problem.
or could it be installed on my PC?
Depending on what your OS is, it could run on your PC.
If mailman is not what I am looking for, pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
For handling reasonable sized mailing lists, I don't know of any better freely available tool than Mailman. There are commercial tools which may be better, but they cost money.
But I don't see any way that any program on Earth can help you around this problem of being able to have a guarantee that you know exactly how many people received your message, and of them how many actually read it.
