Adam, I've recently tried to deploy both. Admittedly, I am still somewhat a newbie, but my viewpoint is that mailman is still the defacto for most implementations. However, here at Guru Labs, we are deploying Sympa for a couple good reasons. One benefit of Sympa over Mailman is that you have one login and you can join as many lists this way, this is one big benefit over mailman. I will admit that this is hearsay, but the person who told me this is very reliable when he states something. Another reason is that we provide a unified login for some of our service via the Sympa database using mod_auth_sympa. Sympa allows many databases easily as well, and I only know of MySQL for Mailman. However, as far as Mailman goes, there is a stable RPM package (which I used to get it working) available, where Sympa has a few, but they are out of date (AFAIK). It was quite easy to get Mailman working and installed, doing things like virtual domains was challenging, however. I understand there are a couple good packages for Debian and Ubuntu already, so I am guessing it's only a matter of time before this debate will get stronger.
