Hum... As I explained in a previous post, what my organization does is
not a traditional mailing list like this one, its personalized
advertising campaigns sent to our customers (strictly opt-in, by the
way.) Our customer e-mail list reside in our enterprise commerce
server's database and whenver we are going to mail, we export the most
current list of addresses based on some sales or demographic criteria
and feed it to a comercial bulk e-mailer, which sends a personalized
e-mail to the clients.
You can still do that with mailman.
If you think mailman can broadcast personalized messages and allow an
address list to be imported and also provide a list of addresses that
failed, then I'll try it. But I was under the impression that mailman
would not work for this.
I know at least one mailman list I am on says "this message was sent to
kremels(_at_)kreme(_dot_)com" in the footers, so some degree of personalisation is
certainly possible. It certainly can have user list imported and it
keeps track of bounces.

to help with more specific questions.
