Nope, I tried I would need to hack the database and I have to hack that 
admin account first.... Mailman basically binds the list to the domain.

It actually is looking at the engagement the other illumos projects get.

Yeah Topicbox is basically a competitor to Ponymail with a hosted setup 
ontop of illumos and is currently hosting almost all other illumos 
project. Unfortunately the admin for illumos.org is currently on hiatus 
to finish all the stuff Oxide has been working on. Until he is back that 
migration plan is on hold....

Frankly I might have to bite the bullet on mailman due to the 
illumos.org abmin being on hiatus so that we at least have something. 
Although Pony mail seems to be a solution? I'll have to play around with 
it but I might be able to make it work.

Let's see.
