I built mailman (just for testing, I don't use it), there were some problems with
permissions of files and directories, so the soucre will need some modifications,
but it should work.  Majordomo should be possible too, it is 'just' a Perl program.

It isn't possible to build Xmail as 'native' Cygwin version, but it runs as
Windows version, it is very fast.  The maker of Xmail (D. Libenzi) also has
a listserver in use that is 'listar', so this should work with Xmail and you
can ask him at his Xmail list for help, though I don't know if 'listar' builds
under Cygwin.
