	I'm pretty sure that anything you can do from the web pages can 
also be done via the command-line, but is definitely doing things the 
hard way.  One of the design goals for Mailman was 
ease-of-administration, but that presupposed access to the web 
interface.

	You can choose not to create the aliases that would allow users 
to handle their own subscriptions, etc....

	Running a closed list is easy.  The other stuff is going to be 
more painful, because that's not the normal way that Mailman lists 
are managed, so you're not going to have as many people in the 
community who'd be able to help if you had questions/problems.
