I wouldn't.  I went off EZMLM when I was subscribed to a list run with it
(the Knoppix CD vendors list) without my permission and spent over 6
months trying to get unsubscribed.  All right, much of the blame must
attach to the person who set up the list, but the situation wasn't helped
by EZMLM not working as documented when it came to unsubscribing.  It
seems to be unsupported and buggy - keep your distance.
Mailman is highly recommended.
