Right, ZMailman is not for people not using Zope. However, it makes the 
integration of Mailing List functionality into your Web Site so easy, that 
I thought some of you might be interested.

Yes, and I think quite some people need that. Just looking at all these CMS 
and community sites...

Well, try to get into Zope 3.0, which is being built at the moment. It 
makes use of the latest development and design patterns, so it is good to 
look at it in anyway, whether you are interested in Zope or not.
