make ezmlm more generic: support for mailman [#18886]

Here is a patch that makes ezmlm.module support mailman (but drop support for ezmlm :). I don't know how to hook this properly into the module, and since I only needed mailman support, but i guess each list could have a specific "type" (mailman or ezmlm) and the patch would check that type to determine the proper content and target of the subscription mail.

Just curious - if a patch were created which makes this module work with either ezmlm or mailman depending on user the module's settings, would the module name change to "Mailinglist Manager"?

I am working on a tweaked version of this that will allow subscription to any one multiple mailing lists (as configured by the administrator) and will keep the subscription information and password in a set of tables such that users can go into their user profile and see what their subscriptions are and change them (i.e. unsubscribe, go silent or ask for digest only)...

This would work for Mailman through email commands similar to the way the EZMLM module now works. I imagine that most of these mailing list programs have email commands so it would not be hard to make it more generic but I would need some help here as I am not familiar with the other mailing list programs' commands.

I am hoping to have this done soon and will need testers... any takers?
