I hope you're kidding when you say that. ;-)

A few things to keep in mind:

The MTA is harder to setup, properly that is.  A noutbound queue needs
to be established so that Mailman doesn't get blocked while trying to
send 1000+ emails.  On the inbound side, I would recommend postfix as it
integrates well with Mailman via alias and virtual lookup files (which
are nice if you are adding/deleting lists a lot).  

You might want to apply the htdig integration and daily mbox patches
listed here:
   http://www.openinfo.co.uk/mm/index.html
They make list mgmt/use much easier

Also, if you want to save some bandwidth and staunch the spread of email
addresses, you can read this note about removing the .mbox/.txt files
from public access (leaving only the .html files accessable):
  http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.066.htp

You may also want the password prompt on the admin login page to get the
focus (so that you don't have to click it first)
