It's also web based administration, and web based user interface.

Look at all the options you can change for your personal account on this
mailing list.  (things like "digest mode" and the ability to suspend
mail delivery, and a half dozen other options)  Subtract all of those
options, the admin web interface, and the user web interface, and what
you have left resembles Smartlist.  (Did I mention Smartlist sucks? :)
