I believe you're assumption is correct, mailman should run fine in a
virtual machine. When you say you're getting memory errors I assume you
meant you've exhausted virtual memory and swap space in your VM, if
that's correct I don't think there is much you can do aside from improve
your VM. I don't personally have any experience with UML but I can tell
you that virtualization is getting a lot of attention here of late and
the preferred technology is Xen, not UML, info on Xen can be found here:
