[Mailman-Users] setting up an outgoing-only list?

[Phil Glatz]

Would Mailman be appropriate for an outgoing-only style list?

I'd like to the it to send newsletters and announcements, but not allow 
others to post.  I would be subscribing the members directly, from a list 
generated by a database.

I would allow members to unsubscribe themselves via an email or the web 
interface.  They would not be able to do anything else from the web 
interface, since none of the other features of a regular discussion list 
would be available.  I figure that allowing the administrator to be the 
only poster would solve most of the issues.

Maybe Mailman is overkill for this?  I like the ability to administer 
membership from the admin page, and to use it as a delivery agent.

If anyone is doing this, I'd appreciate any wisdom you've accumulated as 
far as configuration.
