It appears that Mailman while being mostly in Python has a few C routines. I
did not see anything that even implied it had been ported to another platform.
So to get this running someone is going to have to port the C routines to OS/2.
Then Mailman will need to be tested to see if it will run on the Python that is
available for OS/2. It will not be me. So if one of the Python gurus wants to
give it a try go for it.

Saw a few other mailing list servers mostly written in PHP/MySQL. Nothing
looked interesting.
