You can also "follow" an entire forum or sub forum and even specific people. You will get an as it happens email.
Would you like to try it out as Django's forums? We can of course bring in the mailing lists in as well. Feel free to contact me at dhan@zohocorp.com - will be glad to assist you in anyway.
Hi, This is not a new crib. Another recent complaint is here http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=905520, and I responded to that asking him to try Zoho Discussions (http://discussions.zoho.com). Though not a mail listing software, it is fairly advanced and is capable of handling posting through emails too.

John,
Would you be interested in taking a look at Zoho Discussions (http://discussions.zoho.com/home) for your need? It is a powerful solution for setting up a user / developer community and is an offering from the Zoho suite of products. Zoho Discussions provides a lot of features (http://discussions.zoho.com/features) comparable (and in many respects better than phpBB).
Feel free to contact me at dhan [at] zohocorp [dot] com or support [at] zohodiscussions [dot] com to discuss this further. Will be more than happy to support you in any way we can. :)
And since we use jQuery across Zoho, and greatly benefit from the productivity it offers, I am happy to offer the entire solution for free for your website - for as long as you choose to run it.
Regards
Dhan
Product Manager, Zoho Discussions
