I use a 'full-blown' Mailman list as an announce-only (one way) to notify
hundreds of members that a particular Emagazine has published another
issue.

There are hundreds of others that are for industry-specific topics.  Some
I subscribe to are related to web design, web publication, data bases.
Many mailing lists have been very active for ten or more years.
