What's the best (free, easy to install, doesn't hog resources) emai list software for OS X?
I've been running Macjordomo, but it is buggy and hogs resources, slowing down my machine. I manage about 10 local lists, with not more than 20 members of each list.
I thank you, MeFi gestalt...

GNU Mailman is my favorite list manager, is free, and ought to be pretty easy to install (isn't there some debianized, proper package manager for OSX now?), and I've never noticed performance issues on any systems running it. Having said that, I should state that I've never run it on your particular flavor of Unix, but there shouldn't be substantial differences.

Mozilla Thunderbird
This mail client only recently arrived on OS X after finding success on iOS and Android Task-Oriented Email App Mail Pilot Arrives On Mac OS X Task-Oriented Email App Mail Pilot Arrives On Mac OS X Like the mobile version of the app, Mail Pilot for Mac is very useful for managing important email like a to-do list. The term youre looking for would be 'Digital Audio Workstation'. Theres a default one called Garageband. For doing advanced stuff. Logic pro X is great. The Mac’s default Mail application (also referred to as “Mail.app” or “Apple Mail”) has a somewhat checkered past. While Mail.app provides a free, full-featured email client on every Mac that is sold and has pioneered some innovative features over the years (like VIP and Handoff), it’s definitely not for everyone.
That looks great, and I've already located an article on OS X installation. Thanks!

What Is The Best Mail Program For A Mac
Before I moved my list onto a web host, I used LetterRip. It's really a fantastic piece of software originally coded by the guys that wrote Claris Emailer.

i use mailman, and it is good, but the documentation never seems that great. something that you might find useful one day: you can read the definition of a mailing list into python and examine/change any part of it (using python's introspection, eg __dict__). so when you can't find a way to do something via the user interface (you should also know that it installs a bunch of useful command line programs that do admin-like things) you can always fall back on python.
for example, i run my list on my home server, which is on dhcp - when the address changes (rarely) the python hack lets me alter the address associated with the list.
once you know these things, it's easy to google for more info. but at first, without them, i thought that the web interface was all i had...
