Mailman is *REALLY* *NICE*.  MUCH better than anything else I've seen.
(IMO, Smartlist sucks - we used to run it on the KLUG server).

I've heard that Majordomo is a real pain to administer, but I've never
tried it personally.

Mailman also comes as an RPM on stock Redhat 7.3, and is under active
development.  I'm not sure the development status of Smartlist, but I
know it's been off-again/on-again, so IF it's NOT under active
development, and a security hole is found, then who's going to fix it?

Redhat recently released an update to Mailman to fix a security hole, so
make sure you have the latest if you install from RPM.  Or you can get
the source and other pre-compiled binaries at:  http://www.list.org/
