	Newsletter box?  How is that different from the mailing list?

	No problem.

	No problem.

	Only if you want to configure a specific limit, or you're routing 
your mail through a provider which places a specific limit on their 
servers.

	There are plenty of Mailman list servers out there that have many 
more subscribers, and handle much larger messages on a daily basis.


	So far as the criteria you've specified, I think Mailman can 
handle everything you need and more.  However, you'll need to try out 
the software to see if there are any things you need which you did 
not mention, and which Mailman may be unable to help you with.
